    Abstract: Dr. Tao`s viscosity theory is a university theory can be applied to a lot of liquid suspensions with the discrepancy in permittivity or permeability between the suspended contents and the base liquid. Diesel is a mixture and can be considered as one of these liquid suspensions. We ever got pretty good test results with diesel by the electric field ... Show More
