The present study investigates the effect of the shear rate-dependent thermal conductivity of non-Newtonian fluids on the heat transfer enhancement in a pipe flow. An axially-constant heat flux boundary condition was adopted in the thermal fully developed region. The present analytical results of Nusselt numbers for various non-Newtonian fluids show heat transfer enhancement over those of a shear rate-independent thermal conductivity fluids. The present analytical results showed good agreement with the previous experiments which excluded the temperature-dependent viscosity effect on heat transfer. This study also proposes the use of a shear rate-dependent thermal conductivity fluids in the design of a heat exchanger for heat transfer enhancement as well as reduction of fouling.

In this paper, we have described the microchannel fluid behavior in a slot between rotating curvilinear surfaces of revolution using micropolar fluid theory. ]n order to solve this problem, we have used boundary layer equations and applied non-zero values of the microrotation vector on the wall. The results are compared with the corresponding flow problems for Newtonian fluid. Results show that both the velocity distribution and the microrotation component distribution for a micropolar fluid are lower than that of a Newtonian fluid.

This study investigates the rheological properties of in-situ polymerized solutions of polyacrylonitrile(PAN) and acrylonitrile(AN) -itaconic acid(IA) in dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO) in terms of temperature, concentration, and time. The complex viscosity and storage modulus of the solutions were generally increased with elapsing time, which is ascribable to the three-dimensional pseudostructures formed by strong inter- or Intra-molecular attractions through Polar -CN and -COOH groups. The three-dimensional pseudonetworks would lead to relation of the acrylic solutions in long term. This was more noticeable at higher temperature within the temperature range examined. In the case of 20% solutions one can not observe lower Newtonian flow region in the viscosity curve. Disappearance of lower Newtonian flow region is indicative of heterogeneity of the solution system. Casson Plot of the viscosity data revealed that 20% solutions of PAN and AN-IA copolymer in DMSO clearly demonstrated positive yield stress, ascertaining formation of pseudostructures in the solution systems.

본 논문에서는 협착이 발생된 원관내 뉴턴유체와 비뉴턴유체의 정상 및 맥동유동특 서을 유한요소법으로 해석하였다. 본연구는 맥동유동특성에서 협착관 형상의 변화, 협착이 주기적으로 발생된 협착관에서 협착부사이의 거리와 협착부의 수가유동특성에 미치는 영향 을 검토하였다. 레이놀즈수가 일정할 때 협착이 발생된 원형관내 뉴턴유체와 비뉴턴유체의 맥동유동특성은 정상유동의 경우와 크게 다르게 나타난다. 맥동유동에서는 정상유동보다 관 중앙부에서 속도분포가 훨씬 평탄하고 맥동유동의 속도분포는 감속시에 비하여 가속시에 관 중앙부의 속도분포가 더 평탄하게 나타난다. 정상유동과 맥동유동으 감속시에서는 협착부 하류의 벽면에서 재순환영역이 발생된다. 협착부의 수가 증가하면 각 협착부 주위의 속도장 은 유사하게 나타나지만 전체 압력손실은 크게 증가한다. 협착부사이의 거리가 변화될 경우 맥동유동속도의 국소최대치와 국소최소치의 차이가 가속시에는 거의 없지만 감속시에는 협 착부사이의 거리에 따라 다르게 나타난다.

The average diffusion time of a polyacrylamide solution was determined by measuring the terminal velocities of the falling balls. The diffusion time increased as the polyacrylamide concentration increased. The PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) system was employed to visualize the flow phenomena around balls. For a time interval of 30 seconds in the 2000 wppm, velocity vectors were larger than in case of 0 seconds, 40 seconds and 50 seconds in the falling ball. However, in the Newtonian fluid, flow vsualization around balls were performed at both upstream and downstream of the falling ball.

The capillary number is used to represent the mobilization potential of organic phase trapped within porous media. The capillary number has been defined by three different forms, according to types of flow velocity and viscosity used in the definition of capillary number. This study evaluated the suitability of the capillary number definitions for representing TCE mobilization by constructing capillary number-TCE saturation relationships. The results implied that the capillary number should be correctly employed, according to interest of scale and fluid flow behavior. This study suggests that the pore-scale capillary number may be used only for investigating the organic-phase mobilization at the pore scale because it is defined by the pore-velocity and the dynamic viscosity. The Newtonian-fluid capillary number using Darcy velocity and the dynamic viscosity may be suitable to quantify flood systems representing Newtonian fluid behavior. For viscous-force modified flood systems such as surfactant-foam floods, the apparent capillary number definition employing macroscopic properties (permeability and potential gradient) may be used to appropriately represent the desaturation of organic-phases from porous media.

It was proved from the viscosity test for deposits of debris flows(Kim and Seo, 1997) that the property of debris flows could be represented as Bingham plastic model. Based on this bahavior, numerical analysis for the movement of debris flows is carried out by using a computer progran Polyflow which huts been developed for the analysis of the behavior of non-Newtonian fluid. The numerical results obtained from two sites agree well with the movement predicted by an empirical formula. It can be concluded, therefore. that this scheme can be used for the analysis of the movement of debris flow.

The present investigation deals with the application of Adomian's decomposition method to blood flow through a constricted artery in the presence of an external transverse magnetic field which is applied uniformly. The blood flowing through the tube is assumed to be Newtonian in character. The expressions for the two-term approximation to the solution of stream function, axial velocity component and wall shear stress are obtained in this analysis. The numerical solutions of the wall shear stress for different values of Reynold number and Hartmann number are shown graphically. The solution of this theoretical result for a particular Hart-mann number is compared with the integral method solution of Morgan and Young［17］.

Semi-Solid Forming Process(Thixoforming, Rheocasting) is a novel forming process which has some advantages compared with conventional die casting, squeeze casting and hot/cold forging. In this study. Thixoforming process was selected as analysis processing in terms of billet handling and easiness of automation process. The Thixoforming process consists of reheating process of billet, billet handling, filling inot the die cavity and solidification of SSM part. In filling process, two rheology models which were Newtonian and Non-Nettonian model (Ostwald-deWaele)were verified with experimental results. The Ostwald-deWaele model shows the good agreement to the real flow and filling phenomena in die cavity. To give a boost the economical efficiency of Thixoforming process and to ensure the good forming result, reheating device coupled die set was proposed and the initial billet temperature for system that was found from experimental resluts. This study presents an overview of application of numerical analysis for simulation of semi-solid metal forming process to reduce the lead time for development of manufacturing part in industrial field.
