A Coueite cell [Hanl] suitable for use in an electromagnet is depicted in Fig, 10.1.6. left [RoflT Shear stress, velocity gradient, and the vorticity axis are orthogonal to each other in each volume element. The vorticity direction is along the rotation axis of the cell. The molecular deformation vanishes to first order in that direction, so that for... 

Gases, and liquids such as water, usually exhibit newtonian behavior. However, many fluids, such as colloidal suspensions, polymeric solutions, paint, grease, blood, ketchup, slurry, etc., do not follow the linear shear stress-velocity gradient relation these are called nonnewtonian fluids. Chapter 10 deals with the hydrodynamics and heat transfer of nonnewtonian fluids. 

Fryer and Slater [1987] used the device to study milk fouling and in particular the critical shear stress that was necessary to maintain a clean surface under the conditions of the experiment. Fig. 17.8 is taken from the work of Fryer and Slater [1987] and shows a plot of the variation of the logarithm of the critical shear stress with the reciprocal of the absolute surface temperature (the range of surface temperature being 95 - 105°C). These data clearly show the interaction between critical shear stress (velocity) and surface temperature, i.e. as temperature is lowered the shear stress necessary to maintain a clean surface is reduced.

The fifth role of the surfactant is to initiate interfadal instability. Disruption of a plane interface may take place by turbulence, Rayleigh instabilities and Kelvin-Helmholtz instability. Turbulence eddies tend to disrupt the interface [43] since they create local pressures of the order of pi - pi)ul (where We is the shear stress velocity of the eddy, which may exceed the Laplace pressure 2y/R. The interface may be disrupted if the eddy size 1 is about twice R. However, disruption turbulent eddies do not take place unless y is very low. The Kelvin-Helmholtz instability arises when the two phases move with different velodties Wi and U2 parallel to the interface [44].
