Taylor scraping flow polish, cream, butter, honey, etc.,), it is essential to consider this case. The analysis was carried out by J. Riedler and Wilhelm Schneider in 1983 and they were able to obtain self-similar solutions for power-law fluids satisfying the relation for the apparent viscosity where formula_41 and formula_42 are constants. The solution for the streamfunction of the flow created by the plate moving towards right is given by where and where formula_46 is the root of formula_47. It can be verified that this solution reduces to that of Taylor's for Newtonian fluids, i.e., when formula_48. Taylor scraping flow In fluid dynamics,
Knudsen flow Knudsen flow Knudsen flow describes the movement of fluids with a high Knudsen number, that is, where the characteristic length in the flow space is of the same or smaller order of magnitude as the mean free path. For a gas passing through small holes in a thin wall in the Knudsen-flow regime, the number of molecules that pass through a hole is proportional to the pressure of the gas and inversely proportional to its molecular mass. It is therefore possible to effect a partial separation of a mixture of gases if the components have different molecular masses. The technique
