What are Some Challenges in Rheology for Catalysis?
One of the main challenges in rheology for catalysis is the non-Newtonian behavior of many catalytic materials, which do not follow simple linear relationships between shear stress and shear rate. This complexity requires sophisticated modeling and experimental techniques to accurately describe and predict flow behavior. Additionally, the presence of solid particles, such as catalyst supports, can introduce heterogeneity and anisotropy in the system, complicating rheological analysis.
