Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

The third edition of Bubbles, Drops, and Particles in Non-Newtonian Fluids provides comprehensive coverage of the scientific foundations and the latest advances in particle motion in non-Newtonian media.

Thoroughly updating and expanding its best-selling predecessor, this edition addresses numerical and experimental developments in non-Newtonian particulate systems. It includes a new chapter on heat transfer in non-Newtonian fluids in the free and mixed convection regimes and thus covers forced convection regimes separately in this edition.

Salient Features:

Demonstrates how dynamic behavior of single particles can yield useful information for modeling transport processes in complex multiphase flows Addresses heat transfer in Generalized Newtonian Fluid (GNF), visco-plastic and visco-elastic fluids throughout the book and outlines potential strategies for heat transfer enhancement Provides a new detailed section on the effect of confinement on heat transfer from bluff-bodies in non-Newtonian fluids

Written in a clear and concise manner, this book remains an excellent handbook and reference. It is essential reading for students and researchers interested in exploring particle motion in different types of non-Newtonian systems encountered in disciplines across engineering and the sciences.

Raj P. Chhabra has been a Professor of Chemical Engineering at the Indian Institutes of Technology in Kanpur and in Ropar for the past 38 years. After receiving his B.S. and M.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Roorkee (now the Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee) and the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, respectively, he obtained his Ph.D. from Monash University in Melbourne (Australia). He has been a visiting professor at several universities, including the University of New South Wales, Sydney; Clarkson University, Potsdam (NY); The State University of New York at Buffalo; Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal; Universite de Nantes, Nantes; Technology University of Lodz, Lodz (Poland); China University of Petroleum-Beijing and the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, Capetown. He is a Professor of Chemical Engineering at Shiv Nadar University. His current teaching and research interests are in the general areas of non-Newtonian fluid mechanics, multiphase flows, and research methods and skills. He has 10 books, 35 invited book chapters and reviews, and over 350 technical papers to his credit. He is a recipient of the Amar Dye Chem (1988) and the Herdillia (1996) awards (of the Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers) for excellence in research. He is a Fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineering of the Indian National Science Academy. Swati A Patel is an Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology at Ropar (Punjab). After earning her doctorate in Chemical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology in Kanpur, she worked as a post-doc researcher at the New Jersey Institute of Technology before joining the Indian Institute of Technology Ropar in May 2017. Her current research interests are in the broad areas of CFD of non-Newtonian multiphase flows and particulate product engineering. She has published numerous technical papers in this field.
