Synopsis

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 simulations
• Covers 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 fluids
• Provides solved examples to illustrate and/or aid understanding of the concepts
• Written by a world’s leading expert in an accessible style

About this title

About the Authors

Raj P. Chhabra has been a Professor of Chemical Engineering at the Indian Institutes of Technology in Kanpur and in Ropar during 1984 -2022. After receiving his B.S., M.S. and Ph D (all in Chemical Engineering) from the erstwhile University of Roorkee, the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore and Monash University, Melbourne respectively. Currently, he is a distinguished Professor of Chemical Engineering at Shiv Nadar Institution of Eminence, Delhi NCR, India. His current teaching and research interests are in the general areas of non-Newtonian fluid mechanics, multiphase flows, and research methods and skills. He has 10 books, 35 invited book chapters and reviews, and over 400 technical papers in peer reviewed journals to his credit. He is an elected Fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineering and of the Indian National Science Academy.

Swati A Patel, after earning her doctorate in Chemical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology in Kanpur followed by a post-doctoral fellowship tenure at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, worked at the Indian Institute of Technology Ropar as an Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering during the period 2017-2024. At present, she is an independent researcher and lives in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Her current research interests are in the broad areas of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) of non-Newtonian multiphase flows and particulate product engineering. She has published numerous technical papers in this field. She has coauthored the third edition of Bubbles, Drops and Particles in non-Newtonian Fluids published in 2023.

From the Back Cover

Non-Newtonian Flow and Applied Rheology: Engineering Applications 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. It 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.

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. Each chapter is reviewed and revised as appropriate. New solved examples are added in each chapter as well as to the list of problems at the end of the book to broaden the variety of the exercises to enhance its use as a textbook.
