Below we shall speak about the gel point in the rheological sense, as a point of the relaxational transition from a fluid to a non-fluid system, but it is necessary to remember that gel particles can appear before this gel point... 

Classification.—Commercial starches are classified, according to the viscosity of the paste produced, as thick- or thin-boiling. Wheat starch is a typical thin-boiling starch, as a 5% mixture of wheat starch in water yields a thin, translucent syrup, scarcely gelatinous at boiling temperature. Corn starch, on the other hand, is a characteristic thick-boiling starch. Its 5% mixture with boiling water is practically non-fluid. 

The largest potential for surface retorting appears to lie in large fluidized bed retorts. Operations under pressure, or with retorting atmospheres other than air, look interesting for both fluid and non-fluid retorts. 

All organisms regulate the fluidity of their membranes to maintain a membrane bilayer in a largely fluid state. As temperatures are lowered, membranes undergo a reversible change from a fluid (disordered) to a non-fluid (ordered) state. In E. coli, the temperature of the transition point depends on the fatty acid composition of the membrane phospholipids [12]. At lower temperatures, the amount of c/i-vaccenic acid is rapidly (within 30 s) increased due to the increased activity of FabF. Synthesis of mRNA and protein are not required. Mutants that lack FabF are unable to modulate their fatty acid composition in a temperature-dependent manner. Thus FabF, and not FabB, is involved in the thermal regulation of the fatty acid composition of the membranes.

For more complicated non-linear mixtures, even those non-fluid, see, e.g. [18, 60, 71, 72], the thermodynamic relations are similar (local equilibrium is valid) but constitutive equations for chemical reaction rates are not simplified as in the hnear model here, cf. Sect. 4.9. 

Rubber has very unusual properties. Under certain conditions, it remains solid (non-fluid), yet is extremely elastic. A fairly low stress is able to deform a piece of rubber quite significantly (much more than if it were an ordinary solid). The deformation is reversible (elastic), i.e. when the stress is released, the sample regains its original, un-deformed shape.

The non-fluid, non-critical containment requirements of these products mean that polymer compound costs and production costs can be minimised. Underground cable and telecommunication ducts are produced as variants of minimum mechanical specification drainage pipes. Where high flexibility is required, to allow cabling around tortuous paths in equipment and buildings, then corrugated pipes are used. Since there is no fluid flow... 

The outer membrane must contain some fluid and some non-fluid fatty acids at all temperatures, leading to a membrane with a mix of saturated and unsaturated acids. Changes in the temperature of the environment are rapidly reflected in altered fatty acid composition. At lower temperatures, the minimum amount of saturated fatty acid required is less than that needed at higher temperatures. A homeostatic mechanism ensures that... 

Even a mass flow hopper has a significant velocity gradient across the converging section of the container and can preferentially draw-down fluidised material through the bed if this velocity differential reaches near the surface. The reason is that flow pressures of a fluidised mass are hydrostatic, whereas the lateral pressures of gravity flow of a normal media are much less than the vertical pressures. A depression in the flow channel that admits a bulk material in a fluid condition will therefore exert radial pressures mush in excess of the non-fluid product and progressively penetrate the flow channel. To counter this tendency, the cross section of the live flow channel should be as large as practical and have minimum velocity differences. Alternatively, an accelerated de-aeration device should be fitted in the centre of the flow channel. 

Good resistance to steam, pressurized hot water, ethylene oxide, and even gamma radiation makes SPS a good choice for applications that require sterilization. Favorable biocompatibility ratings (as measured by ISO 10993 testing) emphasize the capability to utilize SPS compounds for non-fluid/tissue contact medical devices. 

It is well known that, whereas the partieles in homogeneous liquid-fluidized beds usually exhibit eonsiderable random motion, this is not the ease for gas-fluidized partieles, whieh are much more firmly held together in suspension. This difference in behaviour has been the subject of long-running imaginative speculation, generally invoking the presence of extraneous, non-fluid-dynamic interactions between gas-fluidized particles, which are supposedly absent in hquid systems (Martin, 1983).
