Abstract:In non-Newtonian fluids, the mass or heat transfer on particles are of major interest in many industrial processes using suspensions such as fluidized beds or microfluidics reactors. In all these problems we often face hydrodynamic and mass or thermal interactions between a single particle and others or between a single particle and some walls. In this study, such confined configurations can be modeled by a spherical particle translating parallel to the axis of a cylindrical tube. As the suspending fluid may b… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
