This study reports the rheological properties of the novel material “dry water” which contains about 98% by weight water but resembles a dry powder. Dry water is a water-in-air inverse foam which consists of microscopic water droplets encapsulated with hydrophobic fumed-silica nanoparticles. This novel material offers a large surface to volume ratio on the order of 2 × 105 m2/m3 for the gas and water phases. Thus, it provides a convenient medium for surface area limited processes and finds applications from cosmetics to gaseous fuel storage. In this study both steady and dynamic rheological properties of dry water were measured. In particular, the elastic (G′) and viscous (G″) moduli, and the complex dynamic shear viscosity (η*) were recovered from experimental data. Results showed that both the elastic and viscous moduli decreased with increasing strain at strains larger than 4%, and both moduli are weak functions of rotational frequency. Complex dynamic shear viscosity decreased with strain and rotational frequency. When compared with the studies in literature, rheological experiments and obtained results indicated that dry water behaves as a gel rheologically under the investigated conditions.

Rheological characterization of tahin/pekmez (sesame paste/concentrated grape juice) blends Arslan, Elif; Esin, Ali; Yener, Esra; Department of Food Engineering (2003) The aim of this study was to determine the rheological properties of tahin/pekmez blends at different tahin concentrations (20-32%) and temperatures (35-65 C) by using a concentric cylinder rotational viscometer. Samples were sheared with seven different rotational speeds at an increasing order. The shear rates (0.75-63.9 s-1) were calculated by the Power-law Approximation method. Tahin/pekmez blends were found to exhibit non-Newtonian, shear thinning behavior at all temperatures and tahin concentrations. T...
Rheological properties of asphaltite-water slurries Hicyilmaz, Cahit; Ozun, Savas; Altun, Naci Emre (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2006-09-20) In this study, the rheological characteristics of asphaltite- water slurries ( AWSs) were investigated with respect to some of the most important parameters in the preparation of slurries. The effects of pulp density, chemical addition, pulp pH, and particle size on the rheological behavior and viscosity of AWSs were studied. The role of demineralization of asphaltite was also investigated, and rheological properties of raw and relatively demineralized asphaltites were compared. Results showed that viscosit...
Terahertz absorption spectrum of para and ortho water vapors at different humidities at room temperature Xin, X.; Altan, Hakan; Saint, A.; Matten, D.; Alfano, R. R. (2006-11-01) Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy has been used to measure the absorption of water vapor in 0.2-2.4 THz range from low to high humidity at room temperature. The observed absorption lines are due to the water molecular rotations in the ground vibrational state. We find that the absorption strength of para transitions increases as humidity increases, while the absorption strength of ortho transitions increases and then decreases in intensity with increasing humidity. We explain this difference based on the n...
Dielectric properties of fuel oils and their ethanol mixtures investigated by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy Arık, Enis; Esentürk, Okan; Altan, Hakan; Department of Chemistry (2013) The purpose of this study is to investigate the dielectric properties of fuel oils and their ethanol mixtures in the THz spectral region. We presented frequency dependent absorption coefficients, refractive indices, and dielectric constants calculated from the measurements of pure and mixtures of fuel oils. As the mixing ratio changes, meaningful shifts were observed in refractive index and absorption coefficient of the mixtures. For pure liquids, we used Debye model which provides a good estimate for the d...
HYGRIC PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT OF AUTOCLAVED AERATED CONCRETE TREATED WITH NANO DISPERSIVE CALCIUM HYDROXIDE SOLUTION Tanideh, Gelareh; Tavukçuoğlu, Ayşe; Saltık, Emine Nevin; Department of Architecture (2022-2) The focus of the study is to uncover whether the treatment of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) surface with alcohol dispersion of calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 nanoparticles controls its high water absorption properties to some extent or not. AAC as a lightweight and porous concrete material, is well-known for its high breathing and thermal resistivity features while it suffers from high water absorption and capillary suction in exposed conditions. Laboratory analyses were conducted on four types of AAC, used ...
