  • The rheological properties of apple pectins and tomato pectins with different degrees of side branches (sample I and sample II) were investigated with wide range of shear rate by theological modeling. Among the Power law model, Cross model and Carreau model, the Carreau model was the best fitted to the experimental data. Increasing in branching of apple pectins resulted in higher zero-shear viscosity $({\eta}_0)$. But, tomato pectins that have a low degree of side branches were shown litte difference between sample I and sample II. It is concluded that side branches of pectins can result in significant difference in rheological properties. And, this is predicted by the Carreau model.

  • Three-dimensional optimum design of coat-hanger die is performed using power-law and Carreau models. It is found that the three-dimensional optimum design algorithm shows good convergence with the non-Newtonian fludis. the nore realistic optimum design is accomplished by employing Carreau model with the three-dimensional design method. The effect of vixcosity modles is investigated by comparing the optimum manifold profiles and flow rate distributions of power-law and Carreau modles. Through the accurated viscosity representation of Carreau model, the effect of total flow rate on the optimum manifold profile is investigated.

  • Oil was extracted from cashew nuts. The physicochemical parameters of the oil were determined. A chromatographic assay of the oil was carried out using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry. Seventeen compounds were detected: Phenol, Phenol 2-methyl-, Cyclohexene 4, 4-dimethyl-, m-Fluoro-2-diazoacetophenone 4-dimethyl-, Tetradecanoic acid, Phenol 4-octyl-, n-Hexadecanoic acid. Others are 9, 12-Octadecadienoic acid (Z, Z) - methyl ester, Hexadecanoic acid methyl ester, Methyl stearate, Dodecanoic acid methyl ester, 9, 12, 15-Octadecatrienoic acid methyl ester, 9, 12, 15-Octadecatrienoic acid (Z, Z, Z)-, Oleic acid, Octadecanoic acid, Tetracosanoic acid and 9-Octadecenoic acid methyl ester. Among the components are omega three and omega six essential free fatty acids. The rheological profiling and flow properties of cashew nut oil were determined using a Programmable Rheometer. Cashew nut oil exhibits slight dilatant behaviour at the low end of shear rate. The long chain and high molecular weight of its constituents controlled its rheology. Long-chained 9-Octadecenoic acid methyl ester, 9, 12-Octadecadienoic acid (Z, Z) - methyl ester, Tetracosanoic acid and methyl stearate, coupled with their high molecular weights are responsible for the shear thickening effect observed. Two models, Carreau-Yasuda and Ostwald-de Waele Power Law were employed to fit the rheological data. The Carreau-Yasuda model followed well the data.

  • The objective of this study is to get simulation data about pulsatile flow of a non-Newtonian fluid through a bifurcated tube. All the process was based on CFD method, with a commercial FVM code, SC/Tetra ver. 6.0 for solving, and with CATIA R16 for generating geometries. To define a non-Newtonian fluid, the following viscous models are used; the Powell-Eyring model, the modified Powell-Eyring model, the Cross model, the modified Cross model, the Carreau model, the Carreau-Yasuda model and the modified Power Law model. The flow calculation data using each model were compared with the other data of a existing paper. Finally, the Carreau model was recognized to give the best result with the SC/Tetra code, and the succeeding simulations are made with the model. For the pulsating flow condition, the sine wave type velocity profile is given as the inlet boundary condition. To investigate the effect of geometries and mesh, the pre-test is carried out with various curvature conditions of the bifurcated corner, and then with various mesh conditions. The final process is to calculate flow variables such as the wall shear stress (WSS) and the wall shear stress gradient (WSSG). To validate all the result, the simulation is compared with the existing data of the other papers. Generally speaking, there is a noticeable difference in the maximum and minimum value of WSS. It is not sure that the values in each data are on the exactly same location. However, the overall trend is similar. The next study needs to investigate the same situation by experimental method. Furthermore, if the flow is simulated with more pulsatile conditions, more data of flow field through a bifurcated tube could be achieved.

  • This study presents results on the numerical simulation of Newtonian and non-Newtonian flow in a channel obstructed by an asymmetric array of obstacles for clarifying the descriptive ability of current non-Newtonian constitutive equations. Jones and Walters (1989) have performed the corresponding experiment that clearly demonstrates the characteristic difference among the flow patterns of the various liquids. In order to appropriately account for flow properties, the Navier-Stokes, the Carreau viscous and the Leonov equations are employed for Newtonian, shear thinning and extension hardening liquids, respectively. Making use of the tensor-logarithmic formulation of the Leonov model in the computational scheme, we have obtained stable solutions up to relatively high Deborah numbers. The peculiar characteristics of the non-Newtonian liquids such as shear thinning and extension hardening seem to be properly illustrated by the flow modeling. In our opinion, the results show the possibility of current constitutive modeling to appropriately describe non-Newtonian flow phenomena at least qualitatively, even though the model parameters specified for the current computation do not precisely represent material characteristics.

  • The objective of this paper is simulating blood flow through the branched and stenotic tube numerically. SC-Tetra, which is one of the commercial code using FVM method, was utilized for this analysis. The flow is assumed as an incompressible laminar flow with the additional condition of non-Newtonian fluid. As the constitutive equation for the fluid viscosity, the following models were solved with governing equations ; Cross Model, Modified Cross Model, Carreau Model and Carreau-Yasuda Model. Final goal was achieved to get analytic data about shear stress, at specific points, changing the geometry with various factors like the bifurcation angle, diameter of the branches, the ratio of stenosis, and etc. The material property of blood was referred from the related papers. Furthermore, to verify results they were compared with those of the published papers. There were some discrepancies based on the different solver and the different data post-processing method. However, many parameters like the location of low shear stress, which arised from bifurcation or stenosis, and the tendency of various factors were found to be very similar.

  • The flow behavior of polymer melts within a slit die is an important consideration when designing a die geometry. The quality of the extruded polymer product can be determined through an evaluation of the flow homogeneity, wall shear rate and pressure drop across the central height of the die. However, mathematical formulations cannot fully determine the behavior of the flow due to the complex nature of fluid dynamics and the nonlinear physical properties of the polymer melts. This paper examines two slit die geometries in terms of outlet velocity uniformity, shear rate uniformity at the walls and pressure drop by using the licensed computational fluid dynamics package, Ansys POLYFLOW, based on the finite element method. The Carreau-Yasuda viscosity model was used for the rheological properties of the polypropylene. Comparative analysis of the simulation results will conclude that the modified die design performs better in all three aspects providing uniform exit velocity, uniform wall shear rates, and lower pressure drop.

  • H-NCM(Hong-Nanocast Method)has several benefits such as a lower porosity defect and high quality casting comparing to conventional die casting. Influence of casting parameters of hybrid-lower arm in rheocasting process on the slurry flow and the amount of porosity defect was investigated using experimental and simulation methods. In the present study, the Carreau model was adopted to simulate the pattern of rheological flow. Optimal casting paremeters such as injection speed and stroke variations were established. Sound products with integral microstructure and sound shape of joinning different materials of Al and steel pipe without deforming the steel pipe were obtained by the H-NCM slurry and X-ray analysis also showed integral condition throughout the entire parts.
