Bubbles, Drops, and Particles in Non-Newtonian Fluids

Zusatztext "Chhabra has again successfully drawn on his extensive experience and vast knowledge of the literature to offer the readers an excellent! expanded and fully updated review of some of the most important research dealing with this subject . . . well written and exceptionally useful reference book that anyone interested in particle non-Newtonian systems should have." - Jalel Azaiez! University of Calgary! in Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering! April 2007! Vol. 85"The comprehensiveness of this volume is staggering! and in this respect the author has provided a compendium not even approximately matched elsewhere. Even in this age of instant retrieval! it is impressive that one person could be aware of the range of work described by Professor Chhabra." - William R. Schowalter! Department of Chemical Engineering! Princeton University! in AiChE Journal! 2008! Vol. 54! No. 11PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION:- Trans. I. Chemical Engineers (UK)"?This book would be an excellent addition to the reading list in a typical graduate-level course on non-Newtonian fluid mechanics?."- Chemical Engineering Science"?a comprehensive critical evaluation of the voluminous literature?An excellent standard reference in the area."-Journal Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics"?well referenced and easy to read? an excellent source for engineers working within this field."- Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering"?a valuable and well written book? well recommended to those who are beginning a study of the issues that surround the complex flow of non-Newtonian fluids in particulate systems." - AIChE Journal"?an excellent reference book with extensive author and subject indices and which contains material that we all require and use from time-to-time but which is normally not available from a single source."- Rheologica Acta Informationen zum Autor R.P. Chhabra Klappentext Presents the scientific foundations of particle motion in non-Newtonian media. This book covers macroscopic momentum! heat and mass transfer from a single rigid or fluid particle or ensembles of particles involving strong inter-particle interactions! such as in granular and fibrous media! with different types of non-Newtonian fluids. Zusammenfassung Bubbles, Drops, and Particles in Non-Newtonian Fluids, Second Edition continues to provide thorough coverage of the scientific foundations and the latest advances in particle motion in non-Newtonian media. The book demonstrates how dynamic behavior of single particles can yield useful information for modeling transport processes in complex multiphase flows. Completely revised and expanded, this second edition covers macroscopic momentum and heat/mass transfer from a single rigid or fluid particle or ensembles of particles involving strong inter-particle interactions including packed beds, fluidized beds, and porous media with different types of non-Newtonian fluids. It reflects advances made since the publication of the previous, bestselling edition with new material on topics such as extensional flow; time-independent, time-dependent and visco-elastic fluids; free settling behavior of non-spherical particles; and particle motion in visco-elastic and visco-plastic fluids, boundary layer flows, flows in porous media, and falling object rheometry. An excellent reference and handbook dealing with the technological aspects of non-Newtonian materials encountered in nature and in technology, this book highlights qualitative differences between the response of a Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in the complex flows encountered in processing applications.
