Computational results with pseudoplastic fluid flows for fully developed non-Newtonian laminar flows have been obtained. Those consist of the product of friction factor and Modified Reynolds number and Nusselt numbers with respect to the shear rate parameter in an annular pipe. The numerical results of the product of friction factor and Reynolds numbers and the Nusselt numbers for both Newtonian region and the power law region were compared with previously published asymptotic results, respectively. In the present calculations, the product of friction factor and Newtonian Reynolds numbers for pseudoplastic fluid at power law region in annular pipe is 180% less than that for Newtonian fluid. For power law fluids with different power law flow indices, the difference of the product of friction factor and power law Reynolds number between previous and the present results at the power law region is within 0.20%. The solutions also show the effect of the shear rate parameter on the Nusselt number and about 11% increase of Nusselt number at the power region.

Numerical Calculations for dimensionless pressure drop (friction factor times Reynolds number) have been obtained for fully developed laminar flow of MPL(Modified Power Law) fluid in isosceles triangle pipes. The solutions are valid for Pseudoplastic fluids over a wide range from Newtonian behavior at low shear rates through transition region to power law behavior at higher shear rates. The analysis identified a dimensionless shear rate parameter which for a given set of operating conditions specifies where in the shear rate range a particular system is operating, i.e., Newtonian, transition or power law region. The numerical calculation data of the dimensionless pressure drop for the Newtonian and power law regions are compared with previously published asymptotic results presenting within 0.16 % in Newtonian region and 2.98 % in power law region.

In this paper, the peristaltic flow of Psedoplastic fluid with variable viscosity in an asymmetric channel is examined. The bionic effects by means of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) are taken into account. The assumptions of long wave length and low Reynolds number are taken into account. The basic equations governing the flow are first reduced to a set of ordinary differential equation by using appropriate transformation for variables and then solve by using perturbation method. The effect of physical parameters on the pressure rise, velocity and pressure gradient are illustrated graphically. The trapping phenomenon is analyzed through stream lines. A suitable comparison has also been made as a limiting case of the considered problem.

The rheological properties of exopolysaccharide(EPS-R) produced by marine bacteria Hahella chjuensis KCTC 2395 was investigated. EPS-R solution showed a characteristic non-Newtonian behavior fluid properties. In aqueose dispersions of EPS-R 1%, consistency index(K) and flow behavior index(n) were 1,410 cp and 0.73. EPS-R solution was pseudoplastic fluid by power-low model. Rheological propertie of EPS-R was found to be influenced by the concentration of salt, pH, temperature and ionic compounds.

As a link in the studies on the extracellular polysaccharide by lactic acid bacteria, the experiment was conducted to investigate the viscosity variations and rheological properties of 10% reconstituted skim milk and 12% reconstituted whole milk, respectively. 1. 10% reconstituted skim milk cultured by Str. thrennophilus 510 showed strong flow property of pseudoplastic fluid depending upon the production of exopolysaccharide. And the viscosity reached the highest value within 14% concentration. 2. 12% reconstituted whole milk cultured by lactic acid bacteria indicated flow property of pseudoplastic fluid. But there was a big difference in the viscosity as compared with 10% skim milk. 3. The maximum consistency index (k) and the minimum flow behavior index (n) of the fermented milk by Str. thermophilus 510 were 43 and 0.09, respectively. They were 35 and 0.09, in case of Lb. bulgaricus.

Viscosity and shear stress of the dental impression materials on commercial market(Imprint Garant LB(3M, U.S.A), EXAMIXFINE IT(GC, Japan), Vonflex S LB(Vericom, Korea), S-Silicone LB(Shinwon, Korea)) were measured with increasing shear rate from 50(1/sec) to 100(1/sec). The viscosity of EXAMIXFINE IT was decreased from 20,542(cP) to 14,684(cP), which is the shear thinning property of pseudoplastic as non-Newtonian fluid. Since the pseudoplastic property makes the impression material shear thinning and softly injected from cartridge, EXAMIXFINE IT might be popularly used in dentistry.

A highly viscous biopolymer from Bacillus coagulans CE-74 was purified and its rheological properties were studied The rheological properties of biopolymers produced by Bacillus coagulans CE-74 were studied at the temperature ranges with 20~8$0^{\circ}C$, at the concentration of 0.5~4.0%, at the pH ranges from 3 to 1 and at the shear rate fo 7.34~73.38 sec-1. The apparent viscosity of biopolymer was decreased with increasing shear rate, and thereby biopolymer showed pseudoplastic characteristics. Biopolymer solution showed a characteristic of non-Newtonian fluid properties. At the concentration of 1%, the consistency index and the flow behavior index were shown at 2.64 poise. sec11 and 0.8571, respectively. All dispersions were pseudoplastic fluids described accurately by Herschel-Bulkley model. The change of the biopolymer viscosity on pH showed the highest value at the pH 7.0 and it showed lower at acidic conditon that at alkaline condition comparatively.

We investigated that how both the type and the concentration of coal and the surfactant and the electrolyte added to increase the fluidity of CWM influence rheological characteristics. According to the type of coal, the viscosity of CWM was increased with increasing O/C ratio. Also, the CWM was represented the property of non-Newtonian fluid, having yield stress which was linerarly increased with increasing coal concentration. According to the surfactant used as an additive, the rheological characteristics of CWM was represented the pseudoplastic property as n<1 without relating to the concentration of added surfactants. Also, according to the increase of the amount of electrolyte, n was nearly approached 1. Therfore, we found that CWM opproched Newtonian fluid and that when more than 0.05wt.% of electrolyte were added, yield stress was not shown up.

To develop a new form of spice material by concentration of garlic juice, its rheological properties were investigated. In the temperature range of $15\;to\;65^{\circ}C$, the garlic juice with the solid content of $32\;to\;60^{\circ}Brix$ was considered as a pseudoplastic fluid. Flow and consistency indices of the juice interpreted by power-law equation varied from $0.9937\;to\;0.6130\;and\;0.0041\;to\;3.1886Pa{\;s^n$, respectively. Apparent viscosity was lineally decreased as shear rate was increased. Activation energy for the flow of the garlic juice changed in the range of 11,216 to 23,195 kJ/kg mol.

Compression molding was specifically developed for replacement of metal components with composites. As the mechanical properties of the products are dependent on the separation and orientation, it is important to research the fiber mat structure and molding conditions. In this study, the effects of the fiber mat structure(NP: 5, 10, 25punches/$\textrm{cm}^2$) and the mold closure speed($\dot{\textrm{h}}$=0.1, 1, 10mm/min) on the viscosity of composites were discussed. The composites is treated as a Non-Newtonian power-law fluid. The parallel-plate plastometer is used and the viscosity is obtained from the relationship between the compression load and the thickness of the specimen.
