Dynamic viscosity applications

Consider a spherical particle of diameter dp and density pp falling from rest in a stationary fluid of density p and dynamic viscosity p.. The particle will accelerate until it reaches its terminal velocity a,. At any time t, let a be the particle s velocity. Recalling that the drag force acting on a sphere in the Stokes regime is of magnitude iirdppu, application of Newton s second law of motion can be written as... 

In addition to relationships between apparent viscosity and dynamic or complex viscosity, those between first normal stress coefficient versus dynamic viscosity or apparent viscosity are also of interest to predict one from another for food processing or product development applications. Such relationships were derived for the quasilinear co-rotational Goddard-Miller model (Abdel-Khalik et al., 1974 Bird et al., 1974, 1977). It should be noted that a first normal stress coefficient in a flow field, V i(y), and another in an oscillatory field, fri(ct>), can be determined. Further, as discussed below, (y) can be estimated from steady shear and dynamic rheological data. 

Here, k, Cp, p, and p are, respectively, the thermal conductivity, specific heat at constant pressure, density, and dynamic viscosity of the convective fluid V is the relative velocity between fluid and solid and L is a geometry dependent, characteristic length dimension for the system. Note that the Pr is composed exclusively of fluid properties and that the Re will increase in direct proportion to the relative velocity between fluid and solid surface. Example applications are shown in Fig. 2. 

Note that dynamic viscosity has replaced the binder amount and bowl volume of the Leuenberger s relevance list, thus making it applicable to viscous binders and allowing long-range particle interactions responsible for friction. 

The hydrostatic injection method is less precise than in HPLC because injection loops do not exist for volumes between 5—50 nL. The quantity entering the capillary is dependent upon many of the parameters that appear in the well-known Poiseuille expression which gives the flow rate F in a tube (radius r, length L) for a liquid having a dynamic viscosity 17 (expression 8.8). The application of this formula results in an approximate value for what might be termed the entering flow rate in the capillary. 

If one looks at the relationship between logarithmised dynamic viscosities and increasing volume percentage of the disperse phase, it is possible with sufficient accuracy to assume a linear relationship for practically oriented applications. For more exact fundamental research it is necessary to suppose a curve, the course and dependent relationships of which have yet to be clarified. Further studies in this direction are undoubtedly the priority goal for those seeking to clarify the structural relationships and their effects. 

Other semi-empirical models have been proposed for the viscosity of fluids that are based in theory. As these models are applicable to all fluids, they also can be used for liquid hydrocarbons. The first of these models that we consider is that of Lee and Thodos [24,25], who proposed a model for the dynamic viscosity of pure fluids that is applicable to all state conditions from the dilute gas to a highly compressed liquid without discontinuity. This model uses the following expression for the excess of the viscosity above that for a dilute gas ... 

On the other hand, applicability of the Carnahan-Starling model (as well as applicability of other approximate statistical models of the same kind) to particulate systems of very high concentrations appears to be questionable, to say the least. In particular, this possible inapplicability of this model can be due to its failure to account for spontaneous origination of ordered crystalline phase patterns at < ) = 0.55 - 0.59. This model also fails to describe a sharp increase in pressure and dynamic viscosity for the dispersed phase when on the verge of the closed-packed state. In contast to this, the Enskog model leads, however empirically, to physically correct conclusions that both pressure and viscosity tend to infinity as ()) approaches the value attributed to the state of close packing. 

Because of their excellent adhesive properties on most hard materials and relatively low production cost, poly(glycidyl ethers) have been used for more than 30 years to formulate high-volume consumer-orientated adhesives as well as high-performance structural adhesives. When not loaded with large amounts of inorganic fillers, these resins have dynamic viscosities that are convenient for most applications. However, the addition of metal or oxide fillers dramatically increases the viscosity to a level higher than 10 Pa s. To lower the viscosity of the adhesive... 

In addition, Aparicio and Alcalde reported ethyl lactate density and dynamic viscosity for a wide range of pressures and temperatures. Density values are relatively large, pointing to an efficient packing of the ethyl lactate molecules. Also Chen and Chu" and Riddick et al reported the dynamie viscosity for ethyl lactate at atmospheric pressure (Table 20.4.3). Ethyl lactate does not have high viscosity which could hinder its application as solvent in heat and mass transfer operations. 

The reaction with amine derivatives such as 4-hydroxybenzeneamine 20 and 4,4 -methylenebis-benzeneamine 22 is used to produce the tri- and telrafunctional epoxies N,N,0-tris(2,3-epoxypropyl)-4-hydroxybenzeneamine 21 and A,A,iV, iV -telrakis (2,3-epoxypropyl)-4,4 -methylenebisbenzeneamine 23, respectively. However, the polyfunctional epoxies that combine the most attractive properties for electronic applications are the resins produced by epoxi-dation of the phenol novolac 24 and cresol novolac 26. Novolac resins are obtained by the condensation of a phenol with formaldehyde in the presence of acid catalysts in such conditions that the degree of polycondensation is in the range of 3—5. The epoxy novolacs 25 and 26 are produced by the reaction of epichlorhydrin with the corresponding phenol novolac and ortho-cresol novolac resins. Epoxy resins are generally characterized by their dynamic viscosity (77) at 25 °C, expressed in millipascal second (mPa s). 

The viscosity of RTILs, which is in general considerably larger than that of ordinary organic solvents, is an important property that needs to be known for the many applications foreseen for these substances as green solvents. The viscosity of RTILs diminishes rapidly with increasing temperatures. The temperature dependence of the dynamic viscosity, rj, of RTILs generally does not follow the simple Arrhenius dependence but rather the Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann (VFT) one ...
