Tambov: Tamb . gov. Tech. Un-ta, 2006. Kn. 2. 216 s. Book 1. The second book provides information on thermal and physical methods and devices developed at Tambov State Technical University: based on the use of temporal and spatial integral characteristics of temperatures and heat fluxes ; intended for measuring the effective thermal and physical characteristics of laminar fluid flows and for studying the dependence of the thermal conductivity of non-Newtonian liquids on the shear velocity ; allowing to measure the moisture diffusion coefficient in capillary-porous and colloidal materials. The basics of experimental measurement of rheological properties of Newtonian and non-Newtonian liquids . are considered. The book is intended for researchers, engineers, graduate students, undergraduates and students specializing in the application of thermophysical methods and devices for the control and management of product and process quality.
