A method for treating a mixture in a single-shaft or multi-shaft mixer (M), especially a kneader-mixer, especially for preparing a spinning solution. A solvent or solvent mixture is added to the product over the length of a product chamber in order to reduce a viscosity of the solvent or of the mixture and to increase an evaporative capacity. The viscosity of the solution or of the mixture is determined and/or modified in predetermined locations in the product chamber.

A washing machine including a cabinet; a tub disposed in the cabinet; a drum arranged inside the tub so as to be rotatable; at least one damper coupled to the cabinet and the tub, and including at least one coil configured to generate a magnetic field based on a voltage applied to the at least one coil, and a magneto-rheological fluid having a viscosity that changes based on the magnetic field; and a controller configured to control the voltage applied to the at least one coil based on a rotation speed of the drum and a vibration value of the tub so as to generate the magnetic field to change the viscosity of the magneto-rheological fluid to reduce the vibration of the tub caused by the rotation of the drum.

A method of controlling a viscosity of fuel in a fuel control system with a vibratory meter is provided. The method includes providing the fuel to the vibratory meter, measuring a property of the fuel with the vibratory meter, and generating a signal based on the measured property of the fuel. The method also includes providing the signal to a temperature control unit configured to control the temperature of the fuel provided to the vibratory meter.
