A method is proposed for space-time separation and subsequent coincidence of the parameters for kinetic and convective stages of a process. It is implemented in a constant pressure device with independent thermostating thermal chemical (reservoir) and thermal hydraulic (channel) units. Based on the macrokinetic model, numerical calculations are made of thermal and kinetic characteristics of amine-curing-agent polymerization of epoxy resin. The viscosity of a partially cured composition is found as a function of temperature and conversion β. The technique is developed to calculate, to a one-dimensional approximation, integral hydraulic and thermal characteristics of nonisothermal pressure flow of partially cured fluid in the thermal entrance section of a tube. To evaluate its applicability, the two-dimensional problem on developing nonisothermal flow of thermo-sensitive fluid is considered to a boundary-layer approximation

Summary In a measuring cell of a rotational magnetorheometer a rheological investigation of a number of ferrosuspensions is carried out over wide ranges of their concentration, temperature, intensity and orientation of the magnetic field. The obtained data are correlated by a new universal magnetorheological characteristic invariant for the ferrosuspension type and temperature, intensity and orientation of the external magnetic field.

Studies have been made of concentrated (up to 60%) diatomite suspensions in transformer oil, the structure and theological properties of which depend on an applied electric field. Studies have been conducted of steady-state and transient regimes of straining involving continuous and periodic shear. The structure in such suspensions is formed in the presence of an electric field of 10-3 -102 duration. The suspensions under continuous stationary strain behave as non-Newtonian fluids with a yield stress dependent on electric intensity. Under periodic deformation conditions the test suspensions exhibit elasticity which abruptly diminishes with increasing deformation amplitude.
