About this Item

Hardcover. This book sets out to provide a guide, with examples, for those who wish to make predictions about the mechanical and thermal behaviour of non-Newtonian materials in engineering and processing technology. After an introductory survey of the field and a review of basic continuum mechanics, the radical differences between elongational and shear behaviour are shown. Two chapters, one based on a continuum approach and the other using microstructural approaches, lead touseful mathematical desriptions of materials for engineering applications. As examples of nearly-viscometric and nearly-elongational flows, there is a discussion of lubrication and related shearingflows, and fibre- spinning and film-blowing respectively. A long chapter is devoted to the important new field of computational rheology, and this is followed by chapters on stability and turbulence and the all-important temperature effects in flow. This new edition contains much new material not available in book form elsewhere-for example wall slip, suspension rheology, computational rheology and new results in stability theory. Many diverse materials, from man-made plastics to slurry, behave in ways that cannot be predicted using straightforward 'classical' equations. This book seeks to describe and quantify these behaviours for use in industry. There is an emphasis on the practical solution of problems using computer methods, and on the correlation between theory and experimental work. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

About this title

Synopsis

This book is a guide for those who wish to make predictions about the mechanical and thermal behavior of non-Newtonian materials in engineering and processing technology. An introductory survey of the field and a review of basic continuum mechanics serve to show the radical differences between elongational and shear behavior. Two chapters, one based on a continuum approach and the other using microstructural approaches, lead to useful mathematical descriptions of materials for engineering applications. And there is discussion of lubrication and related shearing flows, and fibre- spinning and film-blowing respectively. A long chapter is devoted to the important new field of computational rheology, and this is followed by chapters on stability and turbulence and the all-important temperature effects in flow. This new edition contains large amounts of material not previously available in book form - for example wall slip, suspension rheology, computational rheology and new results in stability theory.
