Silicone oil based magnetic compound fluid was prepared to polishing stainless steel in this paper. The new fluid consists of nano-sized magnetite particle, micro-sized diamonds, micro-sized iron particle and α-cellulose. The characteristics of the fluid were analyzed. The length and quality of the magnetic cluster in the compound fluid was observed under a magnetic field. Polishing experiment of stainless steel was conducted using the silicone oil based magnetic compound fluid on an inclined polishing finishing device. The micro morphology of the stainless steel’s surface was measured. The results showed the surface quality was improved remarkably and the final roughness of the surface was Ra (Average roughness) 0.020μm.

Abstract This paper presents an experimental study on pressure drop using non-boiling liquid-liquid Taylor flow in mini scale coiled and curved tubing. Experiments were carried out to measure the pressure drop characteristics by varying the numbers of turns in coiled tubes and the lengths of curved tubes of less than one turn, such that Dean number, Reynolds number, radius of curvature, and coil pitch were considered. A set of narrow coiled tubes (ID = 1.59 mm, 1.27 mm, 1.016 mm) was used as test sections with different radii of curvature and overall lengths, and thus a different quantity of turns. Water and 1 cSt low viscosity silicone oil were used to create a segmented slug flow. An asymptotic model is developed based on the experimental results and previous models to predict the pressure drop, based on Dean number and dimensionless slug length. The effects of varying tube curvature and tube diameter are also studied. The results provide new insights into the effect of coiling and secondary flow on pressure drop for a liquid-liquid Taylor flow in mini scale systems.

A new method for the experimental study of gravitational sedimentation of a polydisperse cluster of solid spherical particles in a viscous fluid is presented. The method is based on the preliminary ultrasonic mixing of the particles in a spherical container and assumes the introduction of a spherical cluster of particles at a given concentration and zero initial velocity into a fluid. This method is used to determine sedimentation characteristics of a bidisperse cluster of particles (steel balls, 2 and 3 mm in diameter) in silicone oil. A qualitative pattern of the cluster evolution, a sedimentation rate, and a drag coefficient are obtained. A comparative analysis of sedimentation characteristics of monodisperse and bidisperse particle clusters is carried out in the range of Reynolds numbers Re = (0.30÷0.66)·10−3. It is shown that, in contrast to a monodisperse cluster of particles, the drag coefficient of the bidisperse cluster of particles does not correspond to a correlation CD = 24/Rec for the Stokes sedimentation.

Capacitance-based automatic urine measurement is a validated technique already implemented in clinical practice. However, albuminuria and free hemoglobinuria cause progressive biofilm buildup on the capacitance sensors of the urinometers. The aim of this experimental study is to investigate the influence of albumin and free hemoglobin on the capacitance signal of an automatic urinometer with and without the addition of silicone oil. A solution of Ringer’s acetate mixed with either albumin or free hemoglobin was run through an automatic urinometer containing either a water-soluble capsule with silicone oil or not. In total, around 500 capacitance measurements were retrieved from the albumin and free hemoglobin group, respectively. The mean increase in capacitance in the albumin 3 g/L group was 257 ± 100 pF without and 105 ± 30 pF with silicone oil, respectively, during 24 h. After ten hours of recording, differences between the two albumin groups reached statistical significance. For the free hemoglobin groups (0.01 g/L), the mean increase in capacitance was 190 ± 170 pF with silicone oil, and 324 ± 80 pF without, with a significant difference between the groups after 20 h and onwards. Coating of the capacitance measurement membrane of the automatic urinometer by albumin or free hemoglobin was significantly decreased by silicone oil, prolonging the functionality of the device.
