Drilling fluids are a critical component in modern drilling operations, serving multiple functions such as transporting rock cuttings to the surface, maintaining wellbore stability, lubricating ...

Electrorheological (ER) fluids are smart materials that exhibit rapid and reversible changes in rheological behaviour when subjected to an electric field. This unique property is primarily attributed ...

There is frequently a great deal of uncertainty and misinformation around heat transfer systems, including their proper use and maintenance, causing dread and anxiety among system operators. This fear ...

Thermal fluids will inevitably degrade over time when continually exposed to high temperatures, and the ability of thermal fluids to effectively transfer heat will diminish. Typically, the adverse ...

Editor’s note: The Basics department this month is an excerpt from the ISA book Flow of Industrial Fluids – Theory and Equations by Raymond Mulley. Some material in this section may seem self-evident ...

If you’ve ever whacked the bottom of a ketchup bottle to get that tasty tomato goop flowing, you’ve put some serious physics to work. Ketchup is a non-Newtonian fluid. So are toothpaste, yogurt, ...
