"We found that sipping through a straw defies all the previously known laws for the resistance or friction of flow through a pipe or tube," explains Leif Ristroph, an associate professor at New York ...

Rotameter flow meters are devices that can measure the flowrate of liquids and gases. Generally, the rotameter is a tube made of plastic, glass or metal combined with a float, which responds linearly ...

Fluids play a crucial role in industrial processes like cooling, heating, and mixing. Traditionally, most industries would utilize Newtonian fluids—which have a constant viscosity—for such processes.

I believe the single most important factor is that the most accurate flowmeters have a close connection between the operating ...

Interactions between molecules and electrons in carbon nanotube walls can cause 'quantum friction'. (Courtesy: Geoffrey Monet, ENS) When water moves through nano-sized channels made of carbon, its ...
