Modern fertilizer manufacturing uses the Haber-Bosch and Ostwald processes to fix aerial nitrogen as ammonia, then oxidize the ammonia to nitric acid. Having already created a Haber-Bosch reactor for ...

The new series gives manufacturers in food, energy, and petrochemicals a unified standard for quality, combining lab-grade precision with industrial-scale efficiency. With costs climbing and ...

IN recent years the cone-and-plate viscometer has been used with some success in the measurement of second-order effects in elastico-viscous liquids. The relevant experiments are usually performed ...

Knowing the viscosity of a lubricant is critical for condition monitoring. As a result, field-based users need portable viscometers to immediately assess critical equipment while working on-site.

In this article, we will consider what viscosity is, how it is measured and the applications of viscometry in the food and beverage industry. When a force or stress is applied to a fluid, it flows, ...
