Submit a ProposalNon-Newtonian Fluids for Industrial Applications
One Line Description
Gain a decisive competitive edge in the global push for sustainability by mastering the mathematical modeling and computational simulation of non-Newtonian fluids, bridging the gap between complex rheological theory and high-efficiency industrial applications in oil, food, and biomedical engineering.
Audience
Researchers, academics, engineers, and industry professionals exploring the fields of mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, and fluid dynamics, and their applications in food, oil and gas, and biomedicine.
Researchers, academics, engineers, and industry professionals exploring the fields of mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, and fluid dynamics, and their applications in food, oil and gas, and biomedicine.
Description
In an industrial landscape increasingly defined by the pursuit of sustainability and energy efficiency, the ability to accurately simulate non-Newtonian fluid behavior has become a critical competitive advantage. From the precision of biomedical engineering to the massive scales of oil and gas and food manufacturing, understanding fluids that defy traditional Newtonian laws is the key to minimizing waste and optimizing performance. This book focuses on the mathematical modeling, computational techniques, and industrial applications of non-Newtonian fluids and their specific behaviors in industrial processes. In-depth discussions on the flow behavior, heat transfer, and mechanical properties of non-Newtonian fluids are supported by real-world applications, with a strong focus on the modeling and simulation of these fluids in practical settings. Special attention is given to industries that rely heavily on the specific characteristics of non-Newtonian fluids, such as polymer processing, food production, and oil drilling. This book provides a comprehensive roadmap for navigating the complexities of non-Newtonian dynamics. Bridging the gap between fundamental rheological theory and advanced computational application, it explores the intricate behaviors of shear-thinning, shear-thickening, and viscoelastic fluids.
