Bubbles Drops and Particles in Non-Newtonian Fluids

<p>The third edition of <em>Bubbles Drops and Particles in Non-Newtonian Fluids </em>provides comprehensive coverage of the scientific foundations and the latest advances in particle motion in non-Newtonian media.</p><p>Thoroughly updating and expanding its best-selling predecessor this edition addresses numerical and experimental developments in non-Newtonian particulate systems. It includes a new chapter on heat transfer in non-Newtonian fluids in the free and mixed convection regimes and thus covers forced convection regimes separately in this edition.</p><p>Salient Features:</p><ul> <li>Demonstrates how dynamic behavior of single particles can yield useful information for modeling transport processes in complex multiphase flows</li> <li>Addresses heat transfer in Generalized Newtonian Fluid (GNF) visco-plastic and visco-elastic fluids throughout the book and outlines potential strategies for heat transfer enhancement</li> <li>Provides a new detailed section on the effect of confinement on heat transfer from bluff-bodies in non-Newtonian fluids</li> </ul><p>Written in a clear and concise manner this book remains an excellent handbook and reference. It is essential reading for students and researchers interested in exploring particle motion in different types of non-Newtonian systems encountered in disciplines across engineering and the sciences.</p>
