An experimental investigation is described concerning the effect of the existence of a remanent magnetization of the dispersed particles on the rheological properties of magnetorheological fluids (MRF). Two MRF's were used: (1) solid phase: cobalt ferrite particles + silica gel (1.5% w/w); liquid phase: silicone oil (viscosity 20 mPa·s); and (2) solid phase: carbonyl iron + silica gel; liquid phase; silicone oil. The cobalt ferrite particles were synthetized as monodisperse colloidal spheres with an average diameter of 850 nm. The dependence of the dimensionless shear stress (τ⋆/ϕ) vs. Mason number (Mn) fails to scale when a "magnetorheological hysteresis procedure" is followed, specially for the higher volume fractions used (≈ 7.5%). The yield stress (τy) is first estimated from successive rheograms obtained decreasing the external field (H0) values for different ϕ. A more precise determination can be done by applying a stress ramp in the oscillatory regime. The critical stress amplitude (τc) needed to exceed the viscoelastic linear region (VLR) is obtained. It is found that both τy and τc strongly depend on the magnetic history of the sample. As expected, the previous results were not obtained in a classical MRF of carbonyl iron particles since they do not present magnetic hysteresis. We conclude that cobalt ferrite suspensions are an other kind of MRF which works at low fields (0 – 17.8 kA/m) with the opposite effect: decrease of the yield stress with the field. This property can be improved using particles with stronger remanent magnetization.

This paper investigated the effects of silicone oil viscosity (SOV) and carbonyl iron particle (CIP) weight fraction and size on dynamic yield stress for magnetorheological (MR) grease. The MR grease samples were prepared using orthogonal array L9 on the basis of a new preparation technology. The shear rheological tests were undertaken using a rotational shear rheometer and yield stress was obtained based on the Bingham fluid model. It was found that CIP fractions ranging from 65 wt% to 75 wt% and SOV varying from 50 m2·s−1 to 1000 m2·s−1 significantly affect the magnetic field-dependent yield stress of MR grease, but the CIPs with sizes of 3.2–3.9 μm hardly had any influence based on the analysis of variance (ANOVA). In addition, the yield stress of MR grease mainly depended on the CIP fraction and SOV by comparing their percent contribution (PC). It was further confirmed that there were positive effects of CIP fraction and SOV on yield stress through response surface analysis (RSA). The results showed a high dynamic yield stress. It indicated that MR grease is an intelligent material candidate which can be applied to many different areas requiring high field-induced rheological capabilities without flow for suspension. Moreover, based upon the multivariate regression equation, a constitutive model was developed to express the function of the yield stress as the SOV and fraction of CIPs under the application of magnetic fields.

The pressure drop at the column bottom, filled with a Newtonian (distilled water) or non-Newtonian (aqueous solution of carboxymethylcellulose, sodium salt, CMC, 1 %) liquid, in the presence of Rashig rings, made of aluminum (0.8 cm in diameter), regularly distributed in the interplate spaces (volume content of the solid phase: up to 3.2 %) was studied. The average and total pressure drop at the column bottom increased with increasing vibration speed and content of the solid particles, but decreased with increasing superficial gas velocity, indepentently of the rheological properties of the liquid phase. The pressure drop at the column bottom filled with the non-Newtonian liquid was found to be higher than that in the case of distilled water.

There is a variety of methods available for the rapid detection and identification of viruses by electron microscopy as described in several reviews. The predominant techniques are classified as direct electron microscopy (DEM), immune electron microscopy (IEM), liquid phase immune electron microscopy (LPIEM) and solid phase immune electron microscopy (SPIEM). Each technique has inherent strengths and weaknesses. However, in recent years, the most progress for identifying viruses has been realized by the utilization of SPIEM.

In this paper, the plasma discharge in a high-pressure fluid stream in order to produce gaseous hydrogen was studied. Methods and equipment have been developed for the excitation of a plasma discharge in a stream of liquid medium. The fluid flow under excessive pressure is directed to a hydrodynamic emitter located at the reactor inlet where a supersonic two-phase vapor-liquid flow under reduced pressure is formed in the liquid due to the pressure drop and decrease in the flow enthalpy. Electrodes are located in the reactor where an electric field is created using an external power source (the strength of the field exceeds the breakdown threshold of this two-phase medium) leading to theinitiation of a low-temperature glow quasi-stationary plasma discharge.A theoretical estimation of the parameters of this type of discharge has been carried out. It is shown that the lowtemperature plasma initiated under the flow conditions of a liquid-phase medium in the discharge gap between the electrodes can effectively decompose the hydrogen-containing molecules of organic compounds in a liquid with the formation of gaseous products where the content of hydrogen is more than 90%. In the process simulation, theoretical calculations of the voltage and discharge current were also made which are in good agreement with the experimental data. The reaction unit used in the experiments was of a volume of 50 ml and reaction capacity appeared to be about 1.5 liters of hydrogen per minute when using a mixture of oxygen-containing organic compounds as a raw material. During their decomposition in plasma, solid-phase products are also formed in insignificant amounts: carbon nanoparticles and oxide nanoparticles of discharge electrode materials.

The main magnetic parameters sensitive to the structure of steels are the parameters of their saturation loop of magnetic hysteresis: the coercive force Hcs and remanent magnetization Mrs. The saturation magnetization or saturation intensity Mr is most sensitive to the phase composition of steels. The variety of steel grades and modes of technological treatment (e.g., heat treatment, mechanical load) determined the use of magnetic structurescopy and magnetic characteristics — the coercive force Hc, remanent magnetization Mr , and specific hysteresis losses Wh on the subloops of the magnetic hysteresis of steels — as control parameters in diagnostics of the stressed and structural states of steel structures and pipelines. It has been shown that changes in Hc, Mr , and Wh are more sensitive to structural stresses and structures of steels than the parameters of the saturation hysteresis loop of magnetic hysteresis (Hcs, Mrs, and Mrs). The formulas for calculating Hc, Mr and Wh are presented to be used for estimation of changes in the parameters upon heat treatment of steels. Features of the structural sensitivity of the subloop characteristics and expediency of their use for magnetic structural and phase analyzes are determined. Thus, the range of changes in Ìr attributed to the structural changes in steels upon gradual Hm decrease is many times wider compared to the range of possible changes in Mrs under the same conditions. Conditions (relations between the magnetic parameters) and recommendations regarding the choice of the field strength Hm are given which provide the justified use of Hc, Mr and Wh parameters in magnetic structurescopy

Hydrogenation of olefinic substrates in binary and ternary mixtures using 5% Pt on silica gel as the catalyst was studied in normal conditions in the liquid phase with methanol or cyclohexane or in solvent-free systems. The effect of the solvent concentration on the selectivity of hydrogenation of the unsaturated alcohol-olefin binary mixtures was investigated. In ternary systems of unsaturated substrates, the effect of each of the substrates on the selectivity of hydrogenation of the remaining two substances was examined. Another system was found in which a jump change of the hydrogenation selectivity occurred on the vanishing of the fastest reacting substance.
