The non-Newtonian viscosities (the specific or intrinsic viscosities) of poly(L-proline) (PLP, $M_v$=19,000 and 32,000) in various mixed-solvent systems like water-propanol and acetic acid-propanol of varying compositions were measured during the reverse mutarotation (Form II ${\rightarrow}$Form I) by the application of external pressure (up to 4.5 psi). The non-Newtonian viscosity effect was found to be larger in acetic acid-propanol system than in water-propanol system and to somewhat decrease during the reverse mutarotation at a given solvent system. The non-Newtonian viscosity behavior of PLP in aqueous salt ($CaCl_2$) solution was also studied, from which it was found that the degree of the non-Newtonian effect decreased with increasing salt concentration, and increased with increasing PLP molecular weight. These findings could be explained in terms of conformational changes of PLP in solution (like the helix-helix or helix-coil transition) involved.

우리나라는 매년 하절기에 급격한 강우로 인해 홍수의 발생빈도가 급격히 높아지고 있다. 이러한 홍수 발생으로 인한 재산 인명의 피해는 연평균 약 2조억원에 달하고 있다. 이러한 홍수 피해를 방지하기 위해 다양한 연구를 하고 있으며 본 연구에서는 홍수 흐름의 정확한 예측을 통해 홍수 피해 저감을 목표로 하고 있다. 기존의 연구에서는 홍수 흐름 예측을 하는데 있어 부정류 상태로 흐르는 홍수량에 따른 범람의 위치와 범위를 산정하는 것에 중점을 두었다. 그러나 홍수의 흐름은 물에 토사가 섞여 흐르는 혼합체의 흐름이기 때문에 홍수위 모의하는데 있어 물성치도 고려되어야 한다. 이러한 물성치 변화에 따라 홍수 흐름도 영향을 받을 것이라 생각하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 Non-Newtonian 특성을 고려하기 위해 Non-Newtonian 흐름과 일반적인 홍수 모의가 가능한 수치모형을 사용하였다. 사전 연구로 일반 사행수로 형태를 구성하고 사행수로에서의 흐름 물질을 달리하여 흐름 모의를 수행하였다. 흐름물질은 크게 물과 토석류로 나뉘고 토석류는 항복응력과 점성 등을 달리하였다. 또한 다양한 유량으로 흐름 모의를 하여 흐름 범람 시의 특징도 비교해 볼 수 있었다. 모의 결과 사행수로에서 흐름의 차이를 볼 수 있었으며 다양한 형태로 결과를 분석해 보았다. 흐름의 속도와 수심을 다양한 흐름 단면으로 비교하였고 범람되는 지역의 범위와 위치도 비교해 볼 수 있었다. 이러한 흐름 특성은 사행수로에서 곡률이 있는 부분에서 확실하게 확인할 수 있었으며, 홍수 흐름을 모의할 때 Non-Newtonian 특성과 같이 흐름에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 다른 특성에 대해도 고려해야 한다는 연구 가능성을 제시할 수 있었다.

In this research, experimental studies leave been performed on the hydrodynamic interaction between a spherical particle and a plane wall by measuring the force between the particle and wall. To approach the system as a resistance problem, a servo-driving system was set-up by assembling a microstepping motor, a ball screw and a linear motion guide for the particle motion. Glycerin and dilute solution of polyacrylamide in glycerin were used as Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids, respectively. The polymer solution behaves like a Boger fluid when the concentration is 1,000 ppm or less. The experimental results were compared with the asymptotic solution of Stokes equation. The result shows that fluid inertia plays all important role in the particle-wall interaction in Newtonian fluid. This implies that the motion of two particles in suspension is not reversible even in Newtonian fluid. In non-Newtonian fluid, normal stress difference and viscoelasticity play important roles as expected. In the dilute solution weak shear thinning and the migration of polymer molecules in the inhomogeneous flow field also affect the physic of the problem.

Rates of chemical absorption of $CO_2$ in water-in-oil (w/o) emulsion were measured in a flat-stirred vessel at $25^{\circ}C$. The w/o emulsion was composed of aqueous monoethanolamine (MEA) droplets as a dispersed phase and non-Newtonian viscoelastic benzene solutions of polybutene (PB) and polyisobutylene (PIB) as a continuous phase. The liquid-side-mass transfer coefficient ($k_L$) was obtained from the dimensionless empirical equation containing Deborah number expressed as the properties of pseudoplasticity of the non-Newtonian liquid. $k_L$ was used to estimate the enhancement factor due to chemical reaction between $CO_2$ and MEA in the aqueous phase. PIB with elastic property of non-Newtonian liquid made the rate of chemical absorption of $CO_2$ accelerate compared with Newtonian liquid.

The present study investigated the effect of the transversal vibration on the flow characteristics for non-Newtonian fluids. The effect was tested by experiment and numerical analysis. For Newtonian fluids, both of experiment and numerical analysis results showed that mechanical vibration did not affect the flow rate. For non-Newtonian fluids, however, there was significant disagreement between experiment and numerical results. The numerical results showed a negligibly small effect of vibration on the flow rate whereas experimental results showed a significant flow rate increase associated with transversal vibration. The results implied that the increased flow rate was caused not only by imposed shear rates at the wall but also by the changes of rheological characteristics due to the transversal vibration.

Carbon dioxide was absorbed into aqueous polyethylene oxide (PEO) solution containing AMP in a flat-stirred vessel to investigate the effect of non-Newtonian rheological behavior of PEO on the rate of chemical absorption of $CO_2$, where the reaction between $CO_2$ and AMP was assumed to be a first-order reaction with respect to the molar concentration of $CO_2$ and AMP respectively. The liquid-side mass transfer coefficient, which was obtained from the dimensionless empirical equation containing the properties of viscoelasticity of the non-Newtonian liquid, was used to estimate the enhancement factor due to chemical reaction. PEO with elastic property of non-Newtonian liquid made the rate of chemical absorption of $CO_2$ accelerate compared with Newtonian liquid based on the same viscosity of the solution.

In this study, we attempted to quantify the relative importance of assumptions regarding blood rheology. Three patient-specific carotid bifurcation geometries and time-varying flow rates were obtained using magnetic resonance imaging. For each subject, CFD simulations were carried out assuming two different non-Newtonian rheology models Carreau and Ballyk models) and rescaled Newtonian viscosities based on characteristic shear rates to account for the shear-thinning property of blood. The sensitivity of WSS and oscillatory shear index (OSI) were contextualized with respect to the reproducibility of the reconstructed geometry and to assumptions regarding the inlet boundary conditions. We conclude that the assumption of Newtonian fluid is reasonable for studies aimed at quantifying the distribution of WSS-based extrema in an image-based CFD model of carotid bifurcation.

Effect of Newtonian and non-Newtonian oils on minimum ol film thickness in engine journal bearing were investigated at various oil viscosities. The influence of oil viscosity and engine operating conditions on minimum oil film thickness of main bearing and con-rod bearing was examined. Minimum oil film thickness for Newtonian oils increased uniformly with kinematic viscosity. But the correlation between kinematic viscosity and minimum oil film thickness was very poor for non-Newtonian oils. According to the straight-line regression analysis for non-Newtonian oils, high temperature high shear viscosity at 1 $1{\times}10^6Sec^{-1}$, $150^{\circ}C$ increase the coefficient of determination from 0.41 to 0.77. Con-rod bearing showed better correlation between minimum oil film thickness and engine operating conditions than main bearing.
