NaCl viscosity

Solutes in Methanol Solution. In Table 23 we have seen that for four solutes in methanol the viscosity //-coefficients are positive. This is the case even for KC1 and KBr, for which the coefficients are negative in aqueous solution. In Sec. 88 it was pointed out that it would be of interest to see whether this inversion is likewise accompanied by a change in sign for the ionic entropy. Although no accurate values for the entropy of solution of salts in methanol arc available, reliable estimates have been made for KC1, KBr, and NaCl.1 Since the /1-coefficients of KC1 and KBr have been determined both in methanol and in water, all the required data are available for these two solutes. The values of A/S" given in Table 29 have been taken from Table 34 in Chapter 12, where the method of derivation is explained. The cratie term included in each of these values is 14 cal/deg, as already mentioned in Sec. 90. 

Although the viscosity B-coefficients for the fluorides are not known, we see. that the value for the ionic entropy of F" listed in Table 45 is — 2.3 + 2, very different from the value +13.5 for Cl". The value for F- is, in fact, very near the value —2.49 for (OH)-. We have then the very interesting question, whether the activities of the fluorides will fall in line with the other halides. In structure the ion F" certainly resembles Cl" and the other halide ions but according to the tentative scheme proposed above, we should perhaps focus attention on the solvent in the co-sphere of each ion. In this case we should expect to obtain for the fluorides a family of curves similar to that of the hydroxides, in contrast to that of the chlorides. The activities are known as a function of concentration for NaF and KF only. It is found that the curve for NaF lies below that of KF—that is to say, the order is the same as that of NaOH and KOII, in contrast to that of NaCl and KC1.

Recently, patented ethoxylation catalysts have become available that can significantly narrow the ethylene oxide distribution of the alcohol ethoxylates used to obtain alcohol ether sulfates. These products are termed peaked alcohol ether sulfates whereas all others are termed conventional alcohol ether sulfates. Peaked alcohol ether sulfate solutions thicken more than those with a conventional ethylene oxide distribution [78]. Peaked alcohol ether sulfate solutions also exhibit behaviors different from those of conventional sulfates [79]. Smith [78] studied the viscosities of 15% sodium dodecyl ether sulfate solutions of both families with NaCl content between 2% and 10% at 25°C using a Brookfield model DVII viscometer at a shear rate of 2 s 1. The results are shown in Fig. 5 where the very different viscosities achieved are clearly observed.

The effects of ion valence and polyelectrolyte charge density showed that at very low ionic strength found that when the counterion valence of added salt changes from monovalent (NaCl) to divalent (MgS04), the reduced viscosity decreases by a factor of about 4.5. If La(N03)3 is used, the reduced viscosity will be further decreased although not drastically. As for polyelectrolyte charge density, the intrinsic viscosity was found to increase with it because of an enhanced intrachain electrostatic repulsion (Antonietti et al. 1997). 

The addition of salts modifies the composition of the layer of charges at the micellar interface of ionic surfactants, reducing the static dielectric constant of the system [129,130]. Moreover, addition of an electrolyte (NaCl or CaCli) to water-containing AOT-reversed micelles leads to a marked decrease in the maximal solubihty of water, in the viscosity, and in the electrical birefringence relaxation time [131],... 

The specific viscosity Tj for different values of the concentration (C) of the analyzed polysaccharide solutions in 0.15 M NaCl was determined by means of a capillary viscometer (Ubbelode) at 25°C. 

The molten salt standard program was initiated at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in 1973 because of difficulties being encountered with accuracy estimates in the NBS-NSRDS molten salt series. The density, surface tension, electrical conductivity, and viscosity of KNO3 and NaCl were measured by seven laboratories over the world using samples distributed by RPI. The data from these round-robin measurements of raw properties were submitted to RPI for evaluation. Their recommendations are summarized in Table 2. 

Torklep and 0ye measured the viscosity of NaCl by this method, which has been adopted as the standard (see Section 1.2). The accuracy of the working equation is better than 0.1% for the cylinder geometry, hquid densities, and liquid viscosities used by these authors. They claim that the remarkable theoretical analysis of oscillating-body viscometers given by Kestin and Newell supersedes all former, less accurate theories. All the results were once suspect owing to possible solid impurities in the liquid. 

The recommended viscosity data for NaCl and KNO3 melts are available for calibration, as mentioned in Section II. There still exists appreciable, though small, disagreement between the data obtained by the two groups, that is, 0ye s group and Nagashima s group. Ejima et al. ...

Electrostatic repulsion of the anionic carboxylate groups elongates the polymer chain of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamides increasing the hydrodynamic volume and solution viscosity. The extensional viscosity is responsible for increased resistance to flow at rapid flow rates in high permeability zones (313). The screen factor is primarily a measure of the extensional (elonga-tional) viscosity (314). The solution properties of polyacrylamides have been studied as a function of NaCl concentra-tion and the parameters of the Mark-Houwink-Sakaruda equation calculated... 

Flow Tests. Results of the flow tests are shown in Figures 3 through 6. Figure 3 shows the results of a typical run with a brine saturated sand pack wherein a 300 ppm polymer solution in 1 wt% NaCl was injected at a pH of 8.26. Before this, steady state conditions were established in the core by injecting 1 wt% NaCl. The pH values were stabilized at 8.0 and viscosity at around 1.1 cp. The pressure drop across the core stayed constant up to about 8 PV of polymer injection, the pH stayed in the acidic range, and effluent viscosity was consistently lower than the influent value. At about 8 PV the pressure drop started to build and within 2 PV, increased up to about 100 psi essentially plugging the core. No polymer was eluted until the end of the run. 

Materials. Four samples of sodium poly(styrenesulfonate) (NaPSS) prepared by sulfonation of polystyrenes with narrow molecular weight distribution were purchased from Pressure Chemical Co. The characteristics of the samples, according to the manufacturer, are listed in Table I. The intrinsic viscosities of NaPSS in aqueous NaCl solution were measured using an Ubbelhode viscometer at 25 °C.
