is
hosting
a
special
undergraduate
seminar
about Newtonian
and
Non-Newtonian
Fluid:
Concepts
and
Applications.
Abstract:
Many fluids closely related to our daily lives consist of non-Newtonian fluids (e.g., toothpaste, blood, paint and yogurt). It is essential to understand those fluids’ properties to process non-Newtonian fluids in the chemical engineering industry. In this lecture, the concepts and applications of non-Newtonian fluids will be introduced. The goal of this lecture is to learn the following:
- The difference between Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids
- Types of non-Newtonian fluid
- Industrial applications of non-Newtonian fluids
