This paper presents a new model for predicting the fluid flow through a Marsh funnel. Based on Herschel-Bulkley fluid model, the model considers both the friction force and the dynamic force. Pressure drop due to the yield stress in the conical section is accounted in the model. In addition, an improved testing system is proposed for the validation...

Colloidal aggregation is quantitatively characterized by a rheological analysis of the colloidal suspension at various particle concentrations. The rheological analysis is combined with fractal concept to estimate the compactness, size, and size variation with shear stress on colloidal aggregates. The rheological measurement is carried out for a co...

Even today, breast cancer remains a global public problem, with a high mortality rate among women. Nanoparticle (NP) based systems are developed to enhance drug delivery, reducing the toxic effect of medicine molecules. By using iron oxide nanoparticles for cancer treatment, several advantages were highlighted: the ability to target specific locati...

The 3D printing of concrete has now entered a new era and a transformation of the construction sector is expected to reshape fabrication with concrete. This work focuses on the selective paste intrusion method, which consists of bonding dry particles of aggregate with a cement paste. This innovative technique could lead to the production of very pr...
Medication lubricants are thick liquids or gels that are designed to aid swallowing of solid oral dosage forms. Tablets and capsules are placed within a spoonful of the product for swallowing. The aim of this study was to describe and compare commercially available medication lubricants in terms of textural suitability for patients with dysphagia. ...

Drobirski tokovi spadajo med izjemno hitre pobočne masne premike, ki se navadno prožijo v hribovitih in gorskih območjih. Veljajo za izredno kompleksen naravni pojav, katerega je težko napovedati. Za razliko od drugih vrst zemeljskih plazov, drobirski tokovi lahko prepotujejo velike razdalje. Zaradi velikih hitrostih gibanja evakuacija ob njihovi s...

AbstractExperimental compositions of a new heat-resistant cast magnesium alloy are considered, the compositions are corrected, and the optimum compositions of the new cast magnesium alloy with rare-earth metals (REMs) are selected for durability tests at a high temperature. Heat treatment conditions are corrected. The structure and mechanical prope...

The high viscosities/yield stresses of lignocellulose slurries makes their industrial processing a significant challenge. However, little is known regarding the degree to which liquefaction and its enzymatic requirements are specific to a substrate’s physicochemical and rheological properties. In the work reported here, the substrate- and rheologic...

In the food industry, many food products experience extreme processing conditions of high temperature and high shear stresses. The measurements of sample behavior for water-based formulations above 100°C is extremely challenging due to changes in material composition from the boiling of volatile ingredients. We have developed a high-sensitivity, pr...
