A comprehensive examination of rheometry theory and its practicalapplications
This publication enables readers to understand and characterize theflow properties of complex fluids and, with this knowledge, developa wide range of industrial and consumer products. The author fillsa gap in the current literature by presenting a comprehensivedescription of the rheological behavior of pastes, suspensions, andgranular materials and by offering readers the rheometricaltechniques needed to effectively characterize thesematerials.
With his extensive experience in both academic and industrialresearch, the author is able to take the field to a new levelin:
* General schematic classification of the behavior ofpastes,suspensions, and granular materials
* Systematic review, analysis, and quantification of experimentalproblems with complex fluids
* Insight into the flow behavior of complex fluids gained throughthe most recent discoveries and research techniques
* Comprehensive rheometrical analysis of data obtained fromresearch across a broad range of industries
In addition to gaining a thorough understanding of the theoryunderlining rheometry, readers discover its many practicalapplications. Throughout the publication, specific examples areprovided that illustrate how theory is applied, including examplesinvolving food, civil engineering, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals,paper coatings, paint and ink, ceramics, sewage sludges, granularmaterials, and natural materials.
In summary, this publication provides a comprehensive review of thebehavior of pastes, suspensions, and granular materials as well asdetailed analysis of rheometrical techniques. Everything needed todetermine the behavior and movement of complex fluids is provided.It is, therefore, a recommended resource for rheologists,engineers, and researchers, as well as students who deal withcomplex fluids in product formulation, quality and process control,and process plant design.
