The history of fluid mechanics is a fundamental strand of the history of physics and engineering. The study of the movement of fluids (liquids and gases) and the forces that act upon them dates back to pre-history. The field has undergone a continuous evolution, driven by human dependence on water, meteorological conditions and internal ...
Fluidization. Fluidization (or fluidisation) is a process similar to liquefaction whereby a granular material is converted from a static solid -like state to a dynamic fluid -like state. This process occurs when a fluid ( liquid or gas) is passed up through the granular material. When a gas flow is introduced through the bottom of a bed of ...
In 1922, Fritz Winkler made the first industrial application of fluidization in a reactor for a coal gasification process. [3] In 1942, the first circulating fluid bed was built for catalytic cracking of mineral oils, with fluidisation technology applied to metallurgical processing (roasting arsenopyrite) in the late 1940s.

The latex is a sticky, milky and white colloid drawn off by making incisions in the bark and collecting the fluid in vessels in a process called "tapping". The latex then is refined into the rubber that is ready for commercial processing. In major areas, latex is allowed to coagulate in the collection cup.
Food technology. Food technology is a branch of food science that addresses the production, preservation, quality control and research and development of food products. It may also be understood as the science of ensuring that a society is food secure and has access to safe food that meets quality standards. [ 1]
Lab-on-a-chip. A lab-on-a-chip ( LOC) is a device that integrates one or several laboratory functions on a single integrated circuit (commonly called a "chip") of only millimeters to a few square centimeters to achieve automation and high-throughput screening. [1] LOCs can handle extremely small fluid volumes down to less than pico-liters.
