Analysis of the static yield stress for giant electrorheological fluids

Youngwook P. Seo,최형진,서용석 한국유변학회 2017 Korea-Australia rheology journal Vol.29 No.3

Cheng et al. (2010)'s experimental results for the static yield stress of giant electrorheological (GER) fluids over the full range of electric field strengths were reanalyzed by applying Seo’s scaling function which could include both the polarization and the conductivity models. The Seo’s scaling function could correctly fit the yield stress behavior of GER suspensions behavior after if a proper normalization of the yield stress data was taken which collapse them onto a single curve. The model predictions were also contrasted with recently proposed Choi et al.’s scaling function to rouse the attention for a proper consideration of the GER fluid mechanisms.

Seo, Youngwook P.,Choi, Hyoung Jin,Seo, Yongsok The Royal Society of Chemistry 2012 SOFT MATTER Vol.8 No.17

<P>A new rheological model was applied to the analysis of the electrorheological behavior of a fluid containing silica nanoparticle-decorated polyaniline nanofibers. The model's predictions were compared with the experimental data, revealing that the proposed model correctly predicted the shear stress behavior both quantitatively and qualitatively. The shear stress data of the electrorheological fluid showing aligned fibers' structural reformation as a function of the shear rate agreed well with the new model which required fewer parameters than the CCJ (Cho–Choi–Jhon) model. The static yield stress was found to be quadratically dependent on the field strength, in agreement with the predictions of the polarization model. A scaling function was used to model the yield stress behavior of the electrorheological fluid over a range of electric fields, and it correctly predicted the static yield stress behavior both quantitatively and qualitatively.</P> <P>Graphic Abstract</P><P>A new rheological model was applied to the analysis of the electrorheological behavior of a fluid containing silica nanoparticle-decorated polyaniline nanofibers.

( Youngwook Seo ),( Ahyeong Lee ),( Giyoung Kim ) 한국농업기계학회 2019 한국농업기계학회 학술발표논문집 Vol.24 No.2

Rice is the most important staple food across the world especially in Korean. Recently, rice gains popularity in US because it is one of the most healthy and gluten-free food material. In the view of rice processing, composition and characteristics of rice components such as carbohydrate, protein, and amylose are important. In order to produce commercial scale rice product s, automatic evaluation technology for the products in the processing is necessary. Hyperspectral imaging technology can acquire spectral and spatial information of the target materials at the same time so that it can provide an effective solution for the agro-food quality evaluation. Three kinds of flour samples, short white rice (Mimyeon, 75.6㎛, 14%), wheat (strong flour, 36.6 ㎛, 13.3%), and tapioca (tapioca starch, 27.5㎛, 14%) were prepared in a sample container of 5 × 5 × 2 cm. Samples were measured and classified in real time using on-line hyperspectral imaging system (wavelength : 930 ~ 1,700 nm, image : 320 pixels) with 60 Hz conveying speed. Colors in CIELAB color space of the each sample were measured using colorimeter. CIE L*a*b* values of wheat flour were 95.6±0.14, -1.00±0.04, 9.36±0.04, rice flour were 97.8±0.12, -1.02± 0.02, 3.48±0.04, and tapioca flour were 98.7±0.09, -0.27±0.04, 2.5±0.12, respectively. Based on these color informations, we developed an on-line model for the flour identification using hyperspectral imaging system. The model and the hyperspectral imaging system showed great potential for classifying three different types of flours.

This study is done to evaluate a dry sterilization method of plant pathogens on the citrus during storage. Cold plasma technique based on dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) technology was used for plasma actuating. Citrus was stored both cold (5℃, 90%RH) and ambient (18℃, 50%RH) store and analyzed for 3 weeks. Treatment (N=24) and control samples (N=48) were randomly divided for each group. The specification of the DBD plasma actuator is as follows: input voltage is 130 V, current is 0.3 A, flow rate is 15L/min, actuator operation time is 5 seconds (ON), and break time is 30 minutes (OFF). Concentration of ozone was 1.0~3.7 ppm and nitrogen dioxide was 0.5~2.5 ppm. Sterilized air was circularized by a diaphragm pump through a transparent Teflon pipe connected to the chamber and the actuator. Every 3~4 days, the selected samples were rinsed and then inoculated with potato dextrose agar (PDA) for 5 days. Cell number was counted by hemocytometer. Physical properties such as weight, color, soluble solid contents (SSC) and rigidity of peel were measured and compared during storage. Color and rigidity was measured four spots through equator of fruits.

We developed the rice-paper manufacturing machine for performance test and finding optimal recipe rice-paper producing. Capacity of a machine is 30kg/h, input power is 220V, and consuming electric power is 3kW. The size of machine is 2774(L) × 500(W) × 1675(H) mm, and which consists of three parts as input, steam, delivery. Input part looks after half of cylinder which can manage of dropping quantity of mixed materials using a tap and knob. Mixed materials can be steamed moving through conveyer belt over steaming bin. Steaming bin can contain water of 10 liter, and water level sensor detects the water quantity so that the level of water is below than 3 liter, alarm rings then fill up the water to 10 liter. Steam bin has electric heating elements and its target temperature is 110°C. Conveying belt over the steam bin moves 1.5 rotates per second which is changeable speed depends on the condition of mixed materials. Thin and long rice paper moves on conveying belt then had cut using a plastic cutter. Processed rice paper moves to output part. Mixed materials with rice powder, starch powder and water has different physical properties. Rice powder 1,000g, tapioca starch 200g, and 60°C water 1,800 ㎖ can be produced rice paper quality. However, further study is necessary to find an optimal recipe using a few rice varieties and starches.
