Liquid-fields high viscosity

A further distinction must be made with regard to the degree of imiformity of the liquid phase low viscosity liquids will be much easier to handle than highly viscous paste-like liquids. In this respect the classification of fields of work given in Table 0.1 is recommended. 

During the first stage of production from oil fields with reservoirs of the types shown above, the high permeability macroporosity-type reservoirs are worked first. During the exploitation of such reservoirs the oil remains highly mobile to the end, behaving just like an ordinary Newtonian liquid. The fact that the crude htis anomalously high viscosity and its... 

Originally, the basic idea was realized without an FC switch by a continuous or one-tum rotation of the sample perpendicular to the external magnetic field direction, in order to induce a flow but such a mechanical rotation is, similar to a mechanical FC switch, much too slow to establish reproducible states of motions in common, low-viscosity anisotropic liquids such measurements were therefore restricted to high-viscosity liquid crystalline polymers. Fast electronic FC eliminates these restrictions, but to date the new tedmique has only been used with proton spin signals owing to instrumental limitations. ... 

Therefore, it is necessary (1) to calculate real temperature fields in the production equipment during flow of curing mixtures with an allowance for specific rheological properties and real hydrodynamic situation (2) the tempCTature fields in the technological process are to be strictly controlled. These results stress the role and importance of meclmnical sources of heat and the necessity to take them into account in all production proceses where high-viscosity polymers or polymerizing liquids flow. 

Emulsion elasticity expressed by Eq. (2.18) as the first normal stress difference, Ni, originates from the deformability of the interphase thus it is present even in Newtonian liquid blends [113]. The relation predicts that Ni increases with vdthout bound. Since drops do not deform at high viscosity ratio, A > 4, as well as when the interfadal tension coefficient is high, the elasticity should decrease as the dispersed liquid viscosity or the interfacial tension coefficient became large. Similarly, G in Eq. (2.23) and its homologues depends on the R/V12 ratio [126], but here the prediction for both limiting values of V12 is the same. As in the case of viscosity, these two direct measures of elasticity are expected to differ due to different strains imposed in the steady-state and dynamic flow fields. 

In conclusion, we can state that the field behavior of polymer ferroelectric liquid crystals is very similar to that of the low molecular mass compounds. It can be interpreted in the framework of the theory discussed above (Sections 7.1, 7.2) with the high viscosity coefficients 7, (and others) taken into account. The other physical parameters (spontaneous polarization, the electroclinic coefficient, and elastic moduli) are of the same order of magnitude as for their low molecular counterparts.
