Abstract:
Since non-Newtonian fluid behavior are not uncommon in practice, especially in modern applications of colloid and interface science, assessment of how serious is the deviation of the existing results for Newtonian fluids due to fluid nature is highly desirable and necessary. Here, we extend previous analyses for the diffusiophoresis of a particle in a Newtonian fluid to that in a non-Newtonian fluid choosing Carreau fluids as an example. Results gathered reveal that due to the shear-thinning property of the fluid considered, the difference between the particle mobility in a Carreau fluid and that in the corresponding Newtonian fluid can be on the order of 100%. In addition, this difference has a local minimum as the thickness of double layer varies.

Electric Field of a Non Uniformly Charged Sphere
Consider a non-uniformly charged sphere, for which the density of charge depends only on the distance from a point in space and not on the direction. Such a sphere has a spherically symmetrical charge distribution. Here, the electric...
Electric Field of a Charged Disk
The system's symmetry is in the cylindrical directions across the plane of the charge. As a result, the electric fields created by various surface charge elements nullify each other in the direction parallel to the surface. Thereby, the resulting electric field is perpendicular to the plane. Since the disk is...
