Since their discovery in 1822, supercritical fluids have been of enduring interest and have started to be deployed in many important applications. Theoretical understanding of the supercritical state ...

Commonly used conditioning methods that purify hydraulic and lubrication fluids using heat and vacuum could change the chemical and physical properties of fluids. Fluid conditioning or purification ...

All rocks in the earth's crust are fractured to some extent. Fractures form in response to stress. The origin of stress can be lithostatic (arising from the weight of the earth's crust), high fluid ...

Now a team of scientists has shown that determining the point where the solid transitions to a liquid can be predicted from the properties of the solid phase alone. The research has been published in ...

New research exploring the way we perceive fluids could help manufacturers develop new products with greater acceptance and more desirable mouth-feel, say the scientists. Writing in the Journal of ...

There is frequently a great deal of uncertainty and misinformation around heat transfer systems, including their proper use and maintenance, causing dread and anxiety among system operators. This fear ...
