Estimation of rheological characteristics of dual phase fluid at high temperature utilizing transfer learning

<jats:p>Steel, when first refined and put into widescale use changed construction and engineering. Skyscrapers, mega bridges and other massive structures reinforced with this miracle material changed skylines all over the world and opened the door for vast improvements in infrastructure. Steel is still a major component of building projects today and the steel beam is often considered as one of the impressive feats of human engineering. Steel is what chemists and engineers refer to as an alloy, meaning it is a composite material of several different elements. This alloy is mostly made with iron and carbon but can contain other elements as well. The blending of these elements with iron, the base metal of steel, gives it a high tensile strength at a low cost of production, making it the transformative material we know today. However, this metal is not without drawbacks as the process of refining steel generates several difficult to deal with by-products. Professor Noritaka Saito, who is based in the Department of Materials Science & Engineering, at Kyushu University in Japan, is looking at developing accurate ways to measure the properties of these mixtures so that industry can more efficiently produce precise composite materials.</jats:p>
