High Efficient

Shear thickening polishing (STP) method was newly developed to achieve high efficient and high quality finishing of complex curved surface. The shear thickening fluid based slurry is one of the key factors in STP process. Viscosity of different shear thickening polishing slurry (STPS) was tested by rheometer in this study. The influences of dispersed particle size and concentration, abrasive material, abrasive particle size and concentration on the rheological property of STPS were analyzed. The results show that smaller dispersed particle (5.5 or 13μm in this study) and relative higher concentration (50-55 wt.%) are better for shear thickening effect of the base fluid. The viscosity of base fluid increases from 0.15-0.3 Pa·s to 0.8-1.1 Pa·s under high shear rate. The participation of Al2O3 and diamond abrasive changes the rheological property little, and the viscosity of STPS reaches the highest value 1.8 Pa·s at shear rate 300 s-1. But SiC abrasive obviously destroys the shear thickening effect. SPTS with different Al2O3 abrasive concentration in this study presents almost same viscosity curve. It is inferred that the number of the abrasive particle but not the weight ratio plays the role to effect the rheological property of STPS.

Low Sensitivity

This paper proposes a novel approach to control the velocity of a piston using dilatant fluid. Commonly, a pressure compensated flow control valve is used for this purpose. It produces excellent results but is mechanically complex. A setup is proposed that makes use of the unique properties of dilatant (i.e. shear thickening) non-Newtonian fluids. A simple tube section filled with dilatant material can be used to achieve very low sensitivity of flow rate vs. pressure difference. A numerical study shows how the power law which relates the fluid shear rate to its viscosity results in this low sensitivity of flow to pressure difference. An experimental setup was build to validate the findings using a cheap and commercially available shear thickening fluid. It was found that the dilatant material used does not have a highly pronounced dilatant property and therefore the sensitivity of flow vs. pressure difference was not as low as desired. Nevertheless, the results support the practical applicability of this novel type of velocity control.

Shear Thickening Fluids

Whereas most previous studies have focused on improving the penetration resistance of Shear Thickening Fluids (STFs) treated composites, in this study, the dynamic compressive response of single and multi-ply 3 D E-Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) composites with the STF matrix was investigated by using a drop-weight low-velocity impact test. The experimental results revealed the STF improved the compressive and cushioning performance of the composites such that with increasing its concentration, further improvement was observed. The five-ply composite containing the STF of 30 wt% silica nanoparticles and 1 wt% carbon nanotubes (CNTs) reduced the applied peak force by 56% and 26% compared to a steel plate and five-ply neat samples, respectively. A series of repeated impacts was performed, and it was found that the performance of high-concentration composites is further decreased under this type of loading.

Abstract This paper presents a steady-state heat transfer model for the natural convection of mixed Newtonian-Non-Newtonian (Alumina-Water) and pure Non-Newtonian (Alumina-0.5 wt% Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC)/Water) nanofluids in a square enclosure with adiabatic horizontal walls and isothermal vertical walls, the left wall being hot and the right wall cold. In the first case the nanofluid changes its Newtonian character to Non-Newtonian past 2.78% volume fraction of the nanoparticles. In the second case the base fluid itself is Non-Newtonian and the nanofluid behaves as a pure Non-Newtonian fluid. The power-law viscosity model has been adopted for the non-Newtonian nanofluids. A finite-difference based numerical study with the Stream function-Vorticity-Temperature formulation has been carried out. The homogeneous flow model has been used for modelling the nanofluids. The present results have been extensively validated with earlier works. In Case I the results indicate that Alumina-Water nanofluid shows 4% enhancement in heat transfer at 2.78% nanoparticle concentration. Following that there is a sharp decline in heat transfer with respect to that in base fluid for nanoparticle volume fractions equal to and greater than 3%. In Case II Alumina-CMC/Water nanofluid shows 17% deterioration in heat transfer with respect to that in base fluid at 1.5% nanoparticle concentration. An enhancement in heat transfer is observed for increase in hot wall temperature at a fixed volume fraction of nanoparticles, for both types of nanofluid.
