The term “Nanofluids” was first proposed by Choi of Argonne National Laboratory USA in 1995, which meant nanoparticle fluid suspensions. After which, this interdisciplinary field has developed ...

This article explores viscosity, covering definitions, measurement considerations, viscometer selection, and the symbiotic relationship between viscosity and rheology. The critical elements to ...

Ketchup is famous for being hard to get out of the bottle even when there is plenty of it left. In fact, all liquid foods—from red wine to cooking oil—leave some residue in the container. The reason ...

SenGenuity claims its ViSmart high-shear extended range sensor is the first solid-state sensor available for viscosity measurements in thick and viscous fluids. The sensor comes equipped with a smart ...

If you mix cornstarch and water in the right proportions, you get “oobleck”: something that seems not-quite-liquid but also not-quite-solid. Oobleck flows and settles like a liquid when untouched, but ...

Hydraulic oil ranks high among fluids with multi-function capability. True, for sheer utility, it can’t match olive oil, which through the centuries has been used as food, lubricant, fuel, medicine, ...

Some of the factors that comprise the preferred viscous behavior of a cosmetic sample are flowability, processability, stiffness, and consistency. As such, they are essential parameters for quality ...
