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 flowsAddresses heat transfer in Generalized Newtonian Fluid (GNF), visco-plastic and visco-elastic fluids throughout the book and outlines potential strategies for heat transfer enhancementProvides a new detailed section on the effect of confinement on heat transfer from bluff-bodies in non-Newtonian fluidsWritten 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.

Non-Newtonian Flow and Applied Rheology: Engineering Applications, Third Edition bridges the gap between the theoretical work of the rheologist and the practical needs of those who have to design and operate the systems in which these materials are handled or processed. This new edition addresses the rapid advances that are occurring in all aspects of the topics covered in this book, such as new measurement techniques or new constitutive equations and more reliable information based on numerical simulations. New solved examples are added in each chapter, along with a list of problems at the end of the book.This is an established and important reference for senior level mechanical engineers, chemical and process engineers, as well as any engineer or scientist who needs to study or work with these fluids, including pharmaceutical engineers, mineral processing engineers, medical researchers, water and civil engineers.Extensively revised and expanded with material on new measurement techniques, new constitutive equations, and information based on numerical simulationsCovers both basic rheology and fluid mechanics in non-Newtonian fluids, making it a truly self-contained reference for anyone studying or working with the processing and handling of fluidsProvides solved examples to illustrate and/or aid understanding of the conceptsWritten by a world’s leading expert in an accessible style
