Latest fluid Stories
The results are significant because they can help to improve our understanding of medical conditions, such as thrombosis, aneurysms and arteriosclerosis. The research team is publishing its results in Physical Review Letters and the American Physical Society has highlighted the work on its Physics website, placing it on the Focus List of important physics news. Blood flows differently than water. Anyone who has ever cut themselves knows that blood flows viscously and rather erratically....
Brett Smith for redOrbit.com - Your Universe Online If you’ve ever run across a section of beach where a wave has just receded, you know that the wet sand there can act and feel as hard as concrete. The thick mixture of sand and water that can be poured like a liquid but is hard when struck is an example of what scientists call a non-Newtonian fluid. According to a study published today in Nature, researchers from the University of Chicago have demonstrated that a compression of...
The U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration has now approved Cosmolubric B-230 as a permissible fire-resistant hydraulic fluid. It resists ignition and is less flammable in the event of a hydraulic line rupture. Valley Forge, PA (PRWEB) June 11, 2012 Mining organizations are well aware of the environmental impact of their operations and strive to use the safest and most environmentally friendly methods. Houghton International offers a solution with Cosmolubric B-230 vegetable oil-based...
In things thick and thin: Cornell physicists explain how fluids – such as paint or paste - behave by observing how micron-sized suspended particles dance in real time. Using high-speed microscopy, the scientists unveil how these particles are responding to fluid flows from shear – a specific way of stirring. (Science, Sept. 2). Observations by Xiang Cheng, Cornell post-doctoral researcher in physics and Itai Cohen, Cornell associate professor of physics, are the first to link direct...
BASS Fluid Control Mat Keeps Floor Dry in the OR Birmingham, AL (PRWEB) May 26, 2011 If you ask any Operating Room professional who is the messiest surgeon on staff, they all will instantly name the doctor. Fluid waste on an OR floor during "wet" procedures like shoulder arthroscopies, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repairs where the irrigation fluid can spurt out of a knee joint like a water fountain, or even labor and delivery, where amniotic fluid and blood spill onto the floor, is...
Hit it hard and it will fracture like a solid"¦ but tilt it slowly and it will flow like a fluid. This is the intriguing property of a type of "˜complex fluid' which has revealed "˜new physics' in research by scientists at The University of Nottingham.The new findings will be highly useful to the manufacturing industry because the processing and dispensing of everyday products like toothpaste, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and foodstuffs depends on an understanding of the physical properties...
New York University researchers have developed a method to shape solid materials using a corn starch solution. The process, devised by researchers in NYU's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Department of Physics, offers a potential technique for material cutting and manufacturing processes.Their work is described in the journal Physical Review Letters.Manufacturers use a variety of methods for shaping solid materials, ranging from laser cutting to high-speed jets of water. While...
AMSTERDAM, Feb. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Paradigm(TM) (www.pdgm.com), a leading provider of enterprise software solutions to the global oil and natural gas exploration and production (E&P) industry, will showcase its recently released Rock & Fluid Canvas(TM) 2009 suite at the 9th Middle East Geoscience Conference and Exhibition (GEO 2010) to be held in Manama, Bahrain, from March 7-10. Conference attendees are invited to join Paradigm at booth 541 for live technical demonstrations with...
CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., June 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Bacteria can live in longwall hydraulic fluid, consuming portions of the longwall fluid in their growth, which lowers product performance. Bacteria feed on the emulsifiers used in semi-synthetic and soluble oil type fluids, which destabilize the emulsion resulting in emulsion bleed or oil split. Split longwall emulsions reduce fluid lubricity. Separated or split fluids can also cause other problems, including component corrosion and solenoid...
