Bubbles, Drops, and Particles in Non-Newtonian Fluids

By Raj P Chhabra, Swati A Patel, Swati A. Patel

The third edition of Bubbles, Drops, and Particles in Non-Newtonian Fluids provides comprehensive coverage of the scientific foundations and the latest advances in particle motion in non-Newtonian media.

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.

Salient Features:

Demonstrates how dynamic behavior of single particles can yield useful information for modeling transport processes in complex multiphase flows 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 Provides a new detailed section on the effect of confinement on heat transfer from bluff-bodies in non-Newtonian fluids

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.
