▼ Viscosity is an important fluid property that is widely used in many scientific and engineering disciplines. The viscosity of different substances and mixtures can vary orders of magnitude because of factors that affect the intermolecular interactions, such as the non-ideality of mixtures due to molecular size and shape differences, the physiochemical properties of its constituents, and its temperature and pressure. Since the intermolecular interactions can vary significantly from one fluid to another, the viscosity modeling and prediction procedure needs to be studied on a fluid-specific basis. The interplay of these factors makes predicting the viscosity of fluids difficult. Despite decades of research in this area, accurate prediction of viscosity for a wide range of substances and mixtures remains a challenge. The work presented here investigated four aspects of the viscosity modeling of complex fluids that covers reservoir fluids, nonpolar hydrocarbons, and aqueous glycols. Existing methodologies were evaluated and expanded for nonpolar hydrocarbon mixtures with applications in modeling reservoir fluids, which contributes to the understanding of the combined effect of characterization, equation of state, and viscosity models on the accuracy. In addition, a methodology based on simple optical or volumetric measurement at typical laboratory environment was developed for predicting the viscosity of pure and mixture of nonpolar hydrocarbon that are advantageous in areas such as cost and logistics. Furthermore, existing methodologies were assessed and extended for aqueous glycols mixtures, which revealed their capabilities and the limitations. Finally, a methodology was developed for accurate prediction of aqueous glycol systems with terminal hydroxyl groups based on the observed universal behavior, offering a unique approach to modeling the complex behavior of such systems. The advances presented in this dissertation furthered the current understanding and expanded the available options for the viscosity modeling of complex fluids, potentially enabling wide applications across industries.

▼ Phenylephrine hydrochloride is a potent adrenergic agent and β-receptor sympathomimetic drug, used in its optically active form (Pandey et al., 2003; Pandey et al., 2006). As an α1-adrenergic receptor agonist, phenylephrine hydrochloride is used ocularly as a decongestant for uveitis and as an agent to dilate the pupil (Lang, 1995). High intraocular doses have been reported to cause tachycardia, hypertension, and headache. These side effects are caused by large amounts of the drop draining into the nasal cavity. Eye drops that contain phenylephrine hydrochloride have proven to have low intra-ocular bioavailability because of a short contact time with the eyes which reduces the amount of drug reaching the site of action. Formulations of phenylephrine hydrochloride eye drops have varying shelf-lives of approximately two to four years. The aim of this study was to formulate and manufacture an eye drop product containing phenylephrine hydrochloride. Important characteristics that were targeted were increased ocular absorption by increasing the viscosity of the product and reduced degradation of phenylephrine hydrochloride. A variety of phenylephrine hydrochloride formulations were manufactured on a laboratory scale using hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), glycerol, and sodium carboxy methylcellulose as viscosity modifying agents (VMA). The concentration of phenylephrine hydrochloride was ten percent. Ten millimeters of each formulation was made in triplicate. The quantity in each was evaluated using a previously validated high performance (pressure) liquid chromatography method. Physicochemical properties including pH and colour were also evaluated. Stability was assessed using real time and accelerated stability conditions in accordance with the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines. Formulations containing hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) as the viscosity modifying agents proved to be stable under all storage conditions when compared with formulations containing other viscosity modifying agents (VMA). However, sodium citrate dihydrate; sodium metabisulphite and EDTA also stabilized the formulations to a certain extent Changes in the appearance and colour of products containing glycerol under accelerated storage conditions were observed. The sodium carboxy methylcellulose (SCMC) containing formulation was found to be physically and chemically stable in two conditions, namely 30 °C/65 percent RH and 25 °C/60 percent RH. The formulations containing hydroxypropyl methylcellulose along with an antioxidant showed to be most stable as it remained aesthetically pleasing did not change colour and did not have a reduction in phenylephrine hydrochloride concentrations. This meant that phenylephrine hydrochloride did not degrade while the viscosity modifying agents remained stable. Rheological tests showed differences in the viscosities of the formulations as glycerol had increased in viscosity over time while HMPC and SCMC displayed relative similarities. The formulations were compared to a marketed…

▼ Being able to measure and monitor the viscosity of a fluid accurately and in real-time can provide insights and prevent field failures of lubricated mechanical elements. A micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) viscosity sensor that measures the properties of liquids through thermal vibrations of a silicon membrane has been previously developed. The device measures viscosity through three different characteristics: the frequency, amplitude and the quality factor of the vibrating membrane. The membrane is actuated via a short pulse of heat delivered by the heater resistor provided by an external voltage. The pulse width is controlled by a waveform generator and a power MOSFET. The movement of the membrane is measured with an in-situ piezoresistor Wheatstone bridge, which is powered by an external voltage source, and amplified with and instrumentational amplifier before the resulting vibrating signal is analyzed in LabView. The end goal of this work is to characterize the sensitivity and real-time response of a thermally actuated MEMS viscosity sensor. In addition, a process modification to include a deep reactive ion etch instead of a KOH etch, has been developed. As viscosity is dependent on temperature, when the membrane is actuated by heat, the effects of locally changing the fluid temperature will affect the sensitivity of the sensor. Optimized test bias condition results were, Wheatstone bridge bias voltage when increased over 7 V, the natural frequency of vibration of the sensor is modified. Pulse width and heater bias value can be adjusted for optimum sensor response. With these established bias conditions, the real-time response of the system was investigated. Epoxy was used to cover the sensor perimeter, protect the 25 - micron aluminum wire bond connections to a copper PCB and to glue the sensor onto the PCB. Test result show a spike in frequency and amplitude when different oils were added. As shown with additional tests, the spike is mainly caused by slight temperature variations that are introduced with new oil and how they affect the sensor packaging. Spikes were reduced by lowering the bridge bias voltage from 7 V to 3 V, which minimized the sensor heating. Furthermore, addition of oil in very small quantities, in the µL range, reduced the changes in temperature. Figure 1 shows frequency and amplitude response with varying viscosities without agitation. During testing, when oil is added, the amplitude shows an immediate overdamped response which takes about 1-2 minutes to stabilize, whereas frequency is characterized by an underdamped response with response time 5-7 minutes. Frequency response time was slower as it is very dependent on intrinsic stresses of both sensor and packaging, whereas amplitude of oscillations seems to be more independent to these properties changing and shows faster response.

▼ Viscosity and fermentability are considered important properties of dietary fiber. Viscosity increases digesta viscosity and reduces digesta passage rate, nutrient digestion and absorption whereas fermentability increases fermentation into short chain fatty acids (SCFA). The objectives were to enhance the understanding of these properties of dietary fiber and their effects on digestive physiology using surgical models in pigs. In study 1, three catheterized pigs fed 3 diets containing 0, 3, or 6% oat β-glucan concentrate (BG0, BG3, and BG6) in a repeated 3 × 3 Latin square. Pigs fed BG6 had a lower net glucose flux. Pigs fed BG6 tended to have lower portal C-peptide without lowered insulin. Pigs fed BG6 had lower portal glucose dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) and glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which in turn were correlated (R2 = 0.81 and 0.88, respectively) with portal glucose. Pigs fed BG3 and BG6 had a higher net SCFA flux, indicating increased fermentation. In study 2 and 3, ileal cannulated grower pigs were fed semi-purified diets supplemented with 5% purified non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) in a 2 (low and high viscous) × 2 (low, and high fermentable) factorial arrangement using cellulose (CEL), carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), and low and high viscous oat β-glucan (LBG and HBG, respectively). The CMC, LBG and HBG induced high ileal digesta viscosity coinciding with high nutrient digestibility; in contrast, CEL had lowest viscosity and nutrient digestibility. The CEL, LBG and HBG increased fecal SCFA. Linear discriminate analysis of NSP and TRFLP profiles and 16S rRNA gene copy numbers of bacterial groups revealed that CMC resulted in distinctive bacterial communities. The gene copy number of butyryl-CoA CoA transferase was higher than for butyrate kinase, indicating that this pathway is dominant for butyrate production in pigs. In study 4, similar dietary treatments were fed to catheterized pigs. High viscous and fermentable HBG increased net butyrate flux and insulin and GLP-1 production but did not affect net glucose flux. Thus, the viscosity and fermentability are important functional properties of dietary fiber that better explained the physiological effects on kinetics of digestion, absorption, hormones responses, fermentation and thus nutrient flow and intestinal health.

▼ There is a necessity to use artificial lift when the natural drive of oil is not strong enough to push the oil from the well bottom to the surface. Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) systems have been used far and wide by the petroleum industry to compensate the need of lift. The pump part of an ESP system needs to deal with the erosion due to both slurry working conditions and the presence of air. Presence of abrasive particles can erode hydraulic as well as secondary flow paths which can lead to damage of the pump resulting in affects ranging from performance degradation to pump failure. This study is focused on CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic) based evaluation of erosion in ESP pump section under different operating conditions. The pump was modelled at 3600 rpm at best efficiency point for different viscosities such as 1cp, 5cp, 20cp and 60cp. Two gram/liter of sand was introduced at the inlet of the pump. Eulerian approach was utilized to model the two phase flow simulation using ANSYS Fluent. An erosion model developed in the Turbomachinery lab for the pump was utilized to predict the erosion. The developed equation was compared with inbuilt ANSYS erosion prediction equations using the DPM approach. Erosion rates as a function of viscosity across different sections of the pump were obtained and compared with previously published data. From the previous erosion testing of ESPs, it is learned that erosion rates accelerated in the presence of gas. The CFD study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of gas presence on erosion rates. The two phase flow simulation was conducted to evaluate the effect of bubble size on flow separation and pump performance. A three phase flow simulation was performed for the first time using 850gpm water, 15 % GVF (Gas Void Fraction) of air and 2grams/liter of sand. The study concludes with a discussion about the effect of bubble size on phase separation erosion modeling in presence of gas and potential improvement required to calibrate the three phase flow simulation.

▼ Viscoelastic surfactant (VES) fluids are preferred for many applications in the oil industry. Their viscoelastic behavior is due to the overlap and entanglement of very long wormlike micelles. The growth of these wormlike micelles depends on the charge of the head group, salt concentration, temperature, and the presence of other interacting components. The problem with these fluids is that they are expensive and used at temperatures less than 200?F. The viscoelasticity of nanoparticle-networked VES fluid systems were analyzed in an HP/HT viscometer. A series of rheology experiments have been performed by using 2-4 vol% amidoamine oxide surfactant in 13 to 14.2 ppg CaBr2 brines and 10.8 to 11.6 ppg CaCl2 brines at different temperatures up to 275?F and a shear rate of 10 s-1. The nanoparticles evaluated were MgO and ZnO at 6 pptg concentration. In addition, the effect of different nanoparticle concentrations (0.5 to 8 pptg) and micron size particles on the viscosity of VES fluid was investigated. The oscillatory shear rate sweep (100 to 1 s-1) was performed from 100 to 250?F. The effect of fish oil as an internal breaker on the viscosity of VES micelles was examined. This study showed that the addition of nanoparticles improved the thermal stability of VES micellar structures in CaBr2 and CaCl2 brines up to 275?F and showed an improved viscosity yield at different shear rates. Micro- and nanoparticles have potential to improve the viscosity of VES fluids. Lab tests show that for VES micellar systems without nanoparticles, the dominant factor is the storage modulus but when nanoparticles are added to the system at 275?F the loss modulus becomes the dominant factor. These positive effects of nanoparticles on VES fluid characteristics suggest that these particles can reduce treatment cost and will exceed temperature range to 275?F. With this work, we hope to have better understanding of nanoparticle/viscoelastic surfactant interaction.

▼ Background Men have higher rates of ischemic cardiovascular disease (CVD) than women which contributes to shorter lives in men than women. In adults, hematocrit (Hct) is higher in men than women with the difference emerging at puberty; androgens raise Hct. At the same time the effect of some CVD risk factors, such as HDL-cholesterol and fasting glucose, on CVD is becoming increasingly unclear and attention is returning to all elements of Virchow’s triad, i.e., hypercoagulability as well as the more heavily studied endothelial function and blood flow. Hct affects blood viscosity, and has been considered as a CVD risk factor, but observational studies are inconsistent, possibly due to confounding by poor health status resulting in both lower Hct and higher CVD. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have largely targeted raising Hct and have not been definitive. This thesis took advantage of a large cohort in south China and publically available data to identify potentially modifiable determinants of Hct and using an observational analysis, a Mendelian randomization (MR) study and a systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs, where available, assessed the causal effect of Hct and the fertility related anti-coagulant protein C on CVD and/or its sub-types. Methods In a large study (Guangzhou Biobank Cohort Study) from Southern China, I used adjusted linear regression to assess the associations of components of height with Hct, an environment-wide association study (EWAS) to search agnostically for drivers of Hct, and an adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression to assess the associations of Hct with all cause and cause-specific mortality overall and stratified by sex and health status, because of possible confounding by health status. I used MR studies of publically available summary genetic data to assess whether people with genetically higher Hct or protein C were more prone to ischemic heart disease (IHD). Finally, I conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs assessing the effect of increasing Hct on CVD and its subtypes. Results Sitting height and height were positively associated with Hct but leg length was not. Vitamin A, serum calcium, serum magnesium and alcohol use were robustly associated with higher Hct while physical activity was robustly associated with lower Hct. The associations of Hct with IHD mortality varied by health status, with an inverse relation in the unhealthier group and potentially a positive association in the healthier group. In the MR studies, genetically higher Hct was not clearly associated with IHD, but genetically higher protein C was associated with lower IHD. In the systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs, raising Hct increased stroke, thrombotic events, CVD and mortality, but not IHD. Little evidence of different effects by type of intervention, health status or baseline Hct was found. Conclusion My study suggests that Hct and modifiable drivers of Hct might be targets of intervention to prevent stroke, thrombosis and CVD, but not IHD, instead protein C…

▼ Paint’s fluid, plastic and viscous properties were used to renegotiate aspects of the painterly tradition in this studio-based research project. In the paintings that comprise the visual thesis, pictorial elements that are non-dualistic, non-linear and mutable give form to flux. Contemporary conditions of motility – or ‘liquid modernity’, as articulated by Zygmunt Bauman – are given expression through a reconsideration of precedents in Mannerism, Surrealism and Pop Art that were re-enacted in studio experiments to extend a lineage of eccentricity informed by Nobuo Tsuji’s examination of select Edo period painters. The works were executed in enamel, acrylic and oil on composite aluminium panels. Over three suites of paintings, a performative approach was taken. The studio experiments engaged with a range of artists’ work, and with a body of contemporary literature about performativity and the agency of maker and material. In the paintings, this is manifest in the coalescence and dispersal of form. Improvisations with liquid paint reference works by Inka Essenhigh, Dale Frank, Jackson Pollock and Noël Skrzypczak. The physical transformation of form and spatio-temporal relations in the paintings was framed by Catherine Malabou’s theory of plasticity. In the first and second suites of works, the lateral movement of fluid enamel paint on a non-absorbent horizontal substrate generated turbulent matrices. Through layering and abrading the surfaces, compressed, buckled pictorial spaces resulted. Improvised gestures were tensioned against various modes of stylistic intervention and mannerist revision. A synthesis of opposing tendencies was accomplished; figuration and abstraction merge, fluidity gives way to viscosity. The pictorial suspension of structure is a manifestation of Georges Bataille’s ideas about the informe as not the opposite but the alteration of form. The mark of success for the paintings is their ability to sustain a lack of pictorial equilibrium. Ontological instability is depicted through the paintings’ resistance to being read as fixed, and through the unfixed viewing position they seek to dictate. The ultimate ambition is that, in the gallery situation, they effect an arrhythmic attraction and repulsion, making the viewer the very subject of distortion and suspension.

▼ A thermally actuated non-cantilever-beam micro-electro-mechanical viscosity sensor is presented. The proposed device is based on thermally induced vibrations of a silicon-based membrane and its damping due to the surrounding fluid. This vibration viscometer device utilizes thermal actuation through an in-situ resistive heater and piezoresistive sensing, both of which utilize CMOS compatible materials leading to an inexpensive and reliable system. Due to the nature of the actuation, thermal analysis was performed utilizing PN diodes embedded in the silicon membrane to monitor its temperature. This analysis determined the minimum heater voltage pulse amplitude and time in order to prevent heat loss to the oil under test that would lead to local viscosity changes. In order to study the natural vibration behavior of the complex multilayer membrane that is needed for the proposed sensor, a designed experiment was carried out. In this experiment, the effects of the material composition of the membrane and the size of the actuation heater were studied in detail with respect to their effects on the natural frequency of vibration. To confirm the validity of these measurements, Finite Element Analysis and white-light interferometry were utilized. Further characterization of the natural frequency of vibration of the membranes was carried out at elevated temperatures to explore the effects of temperature. Complex interactions take place among the different layers that compose the membrane structures. Finally, viscosity measurements were performed and compared to standard calibrated oils as well as to motor oils measured on a commercial cone-and-plate viscometer. The experimentally obtained data is compared to theoretical predictions and an empirically-derived model to predict viscosity from vibration measurements is proposed. Frequency correlation to viscosity was shown to be the best indicator for the range of viscosities tested with lower error (+/- 5%), than that of quality factor (+/- 20%). Further viscosity measurements were taken at elevated temperatures and over long periods of time to explore the device reliability and drift. Finally, further size reduction of the device was explored. Advisors/Committee Members: Fuller, Lynn.

▼ This dissertation explores the bulk (volume averaged) properties of suspensions of microswimmers in a fluid. A microswimmer is a microscopic object that propels itself through a fluid. A common example of a microswimmer is a bacterium, such as Bacillus subtilis. Our particular interest is the bulk rheological properties of suspensions of bacteria – that is, studying how such a suspension deforms under the application of an external force. In the simplest case, the rheology of a fluid can be described by a scalar effective viscosity. The goal of this dissertation is to find explicit formulae for the effective viscosity in terms of known geometric and physical parameters characterizing bacteria and use them to explain experimental observations. Throughout the dissertation, we consider bacterial suspensions in the dilute limit, where bacteria are assumed to be so far apart that interactions between them are negligible. This simplifies calculations significantly and is the regime in which the most striking experimental results have been observed. We first study suspensions of self-propelled particles using a two-dimensional (2D) Partial Differential Equation (PDE) model. A bacterium is modeled as a disk in 2D with self-propulsion provided by a point force in the fluid. A formula is obtained for the effective viscosity of such suspensions in the dilute limit. This formula includes the two terms that are found in the 2D version of Einstein's classical result for a passive suspension of spheres. To this, our main contribution is added, an additional term due to self-propulsion which depends on the physical and geometric properties of the suspension. This work demonstrates how bacterial self-propulsion can alter the viscosity of a fluid and highlights the importance of bacterial orientation. Next, we present a more realistic PDE model for dilute suspensions of swimming bacteria in a three-dimensional fluid. In this work, a bacterium is modeled as a prolate spheroid with self-propulsion once more provided by a point force. Furthermore, the bacterium is subject to a random torque in order to model tumbling (random reorientation). This model is used to calculate the effective viscosity of the suspension from the microscopic details of the interaction of an elongated body with a prescribed background flow, once more in the dilute limit. Due to a bacterium's asymmetric shape (in particular, unlike the case of rotationally symmetric bacteria used in the first model), interactions with generic planar background flows cause the bacterium to preferentially align in certain directions. Due to the random torque, the steady-state distribution of orientations is unique for a given background flow. Under this distribution of orientations, self-propulsion produces a reduction in the effective viscosity. For sufficiently weak background flows, the effect of self-propulsion on the effective viscosity dominates all other contributions, leading to an effective viscosity of the suspension that is lower than the viscosity of the ambient fluid.…
