Gla.ss Ca.pilla.ry Viscometers. The glass capillary viscometer is widely used to measure the viscosity of Newtonian fluids. The driving force is usually the hydrostatic head of the test Hquid. Kinematic viscosity is measured directly, and most of the viscometers are limited to low viscosity fluids, ca 0.4—16,000 mm /s. However, external pressure can be appHed to many glass viscometers to increase the range of measurement and enable the study of non-Newtonian behavior. Glass capillary viscometers are low shear stress instmments 1—15 Pa or 10—150 dyn/cm if operated by gravity only. The rate of shear can be as high as 20,000 based on a 200—800 s efflux time. 

A vertical belt is moving upward continuously through a liquid bath, at a velocity V. A film of the liquid adheres to the belt, which tends to drain downward due to gravity. The equilibrium thickness of the film is determined by the steady-state condition at which the downward drainage velocity of the surface of the film is exactly equal to the upward velocity of the belt. Derive an equation for the film thickness if the fluid is (a) Newtonian (b) a Bingham plastic. 

A pre-supernova model of a 9Mq star is taken from Nomoto [3], which forms a 1.38 Mq O-Ne-Mg core. We link this core to a one-dimensional implicit La-grangian hydrodynamic code with Newtonian gravity. The equation of state of nuclear matter (EOS) is taken from Shen et al. [4]. We find that a very weak explosion results, where no r-processing is expected. In order to examine the possible operation of the r-process in the explosion of this model, we artificially obtain an explosion with a typical energy of 1051 ergs by application of a multiplicative factor (= 1.6) to the shock-heating term in the energy equation. 

Simulations of this scenario have been performed by Lee (Lee 2001 and references therein) using Newtonian gravity and polytropic equations of state of varying stiffness. Ruffert, Janka and Eberl performed similar simulations but with a detailed microphysics input (nuclear equation of state and neutrino leakage ). In our own simulations of NS-BH mergers we used a relativistic mean field equation of state together with three-dimensional smoothed particle hydrodynamics and a detailed, multiflavour neutrino treatment. 

In the absence of friction, there are two forces acting on the mass m whose position vector at time t is denoted by the vector r[r] measured relative to the support point, which is the origin of a set of Cartesian axes with three-component k in the upward vertical direction. The first is the force of gravity on the mass, which acts downwards with a value —mgk. The second is the centripetal force, unknown for the moment, which is directed along the support towards the universal point. We denote this force by — Tr t, where Tis a scalar function of time to be found. The Newtonian equations of motion can then be written as... 

In rotation moulding the shear stresses and shear rates are extremely low the polymer particles flow together into a homogeneous wall under the influence of gravity and surface stresses only. The relevant viscosity is, therefore, the "Newtonian" viscosity, without the complication of shear-thinning . 

Application of Newton s second law of motion to an infinitesimal element of an incompressible Newtonian fluid of density p and constant viscosity p, acted upon by gravity as the only body force, leads to the Navier-Stokes equation of motion ... 

It is possible to derive an expression for the pressnre profile in the x direction using a simple model. We assnme that the flow is steady, laminar, and isothermal the flnid is incompressible and Newtonian there is no slip at the walls gravity forces are neglected, and the polymer melt is uniformly distribnted on the rolls. With these assnmptions, there is only one component to the velocity, v dy), so the equations of continuity and motion, respectively, reduce to... 

In equations 5-8, the variables and symbols are defined as follows p0 is reference mass density, v is dimensional velocity field vector, p is dimensional pressure field vector, x is Newtonian viscosity of the melt, g is acceleration due to gravity, T is dimensional temperature, tT is the reference temperature, c is dimensional concentration, c0 is far-field level of concentration, e, is a unit vector in the direction of the z axis, Fb is a dimensional applied body force field, V is the gradient operator, v(x, t) is the velocity vector field, p(x, t) is the pressure field, jl is the fluid viscosity, am is the thermal diffiisivity of the melt, and D is the solute diffiisivity in the melt. The vector Fb is a body force imposed on the melt in addition to gravity. The body force caused by an imposed magnetic field B(x, t) is the Lorentz force, Fb = ac(v X v X B). The effect of this field on convection and segregation is discussed in a later section. 

According to Hawking and Rocek [27], GRT has its own shortcomings. They state that the Newtonian theory of gravity is very successful in predicting... 

Equation (105) follows Einstein s law of light deflection, i.e., photons are deflected twice than that of Newtonian gravity. 

Heat transfer involving non-Newtonian fluids has not been studied in rotating devices. Models have been developed for gravity-driven heat transfer for power-law fluids (46). These models may be useful as a starting point to evaluate performance in higher-gravity fields.

A common method for measuring the viscosity of Newtonian liquids involves the use of gravity force capillary viscometers. A simple capillary viscometer is illustrated in Figure 6.3(a). The viscometer is filled with a sample so that by applying suction one meniscus can be held above point A while the other is below point C. After... 

Newtonian and Power Law Fluids Extrudates A Newtonian and a Power Law model fluid are extruded from a long horizontal pipe of diameter Dq. Show that in the absence of gravity, the ratio of the extrudate diameter D to the tube diameter is given by 0.87 and [(2n+ l)/(3w+ 1)]1,/2 for the Newtonian and Power Law model, respectively. 

Relative Importance of the Various Terms in the Analysis of the Isothermal Fiber Spinning of a Newtonian Melt Use the data and result of Problem 14.1(b) to evaluate the importance in the isothermal fiber spinning of a Newtonian melt analysis (nylon 6-6 at 285°C) of the inertial terms and gravity relative to the viscous stress terms. Using Eq. E14.1-2 for FD, evaluate the importance of the air-drag force term. 

For very thin films V/t Newtonian melt being film cast nonisothermally has been treated by Pearson [J. R. A. Pearson, Mechanics of Polymer Processing, Elsevier, New York, 1985], (a) For thicker films the deformation of the melt can be considered as one where only h = h(z) and w = w0. Use the continuity and z-momentum equations, neglecting inertial terms, gravity, and air-drag forces, to obtain the following expressions for h(z) and v- (z) ... 

Nonetheless, we can get a feel for the evolution of perturbations by considering the smallest scales, where Newtonian gravity is sufficient. We start in physical (non-expanding) coordinates and simply write down the equations of motion ... 

At 1-atm pressure in the surroundings, polysaccharide deformation and flow are normally initiated either by gravity or an applied shear rate (y) solvent (water) only flows under temperature (T) and concentration (c,) gradients. When T)i is constant or independent of the rate of shear (y in s 1) or stress (t), the flow is Newtonian. Very dilute polysaccharide dispersions are characterized mostly by Newtonian flow. At moderate concentrations, ti, may decrease (shear-thinning synonymous with pseudoplastic) or increase (shear-thickening synonymous with dilatant) nonlinearly with y for these dispersions, is replaced with (the apparent viscosity). Low DP and uniform distribution of substituents are conducive to tH high DP and nonuniform distribution are conducive to. A high T a is believed to elicit the human oral sensation of thickness. ... 

Naturally, the results of dimensional analysis discussed above and their consequences were not known to the ship builders of the 19th century. Since the time of Rankine, the total drag resistance of a ship has been divided into three parts the surface friction, the stern vortex and the bow wave. However, the concept of Newtonian mechanical similarity, known at that time, only stated that for mechanically similar processes the forces vary as F p l2 v2. Scale-up was not considered for assessing the effect of gravity. 

In addition, it can happen that in the non-Newtonian case completely new phenomena take place (e.g. shaft climbing by a viscoelastic fluid against the acceleration due to gravity, the so-called Weissenberg effect), this calling for additional parameters (in this case g). 

For Newtonian fluids, the relationship between the velocity of a liquid and the forces acting upon it is given by the Navier-Stokes equation. For a noncompressible fluid and considering only convection and viscosity forces (neglecting other forces such as gravity), this equation takes the form of (4.3). 

The sedimentation results obtained with the structured suspensions, are consistent with the predictions from rheological investigations. In the absence of any bentonite clay, the pesticidal suspension exhibits Newtonian behaviour with unmeasurable yield value, modulus or residual viscosity. In this case the particles are free to settle individually under gravity forming a dilatant sediment or clay. On the other hand, at bentonite concentrations above the gel point (> 30 g dm the non-Newtonian behaviour of the suspensions and in particular their viscoelastic behaviour results from the formation of a "three-dimensional" network, which elastically supports the total mass. After 21 weeks standing in 100 ml measuring cylinders, no separation was observed when the bentonite concentration was >37.5 g dm corresponding to a modulus > 60 Nm. Clearly the modulus value required to support the mass of the suspension depends on the density difference between particle and medium.
