Newtonian substance

Newtonian Substance. Fundamentally, liquids or suspensions in liquids when subjected to a shear stress behave in two ways (1) A Newtonian substance undergoes deformation, the ratio of shear rate (flow) to shear stress (force.) is constant, Se.e Fig. 1.

A single figure for t] is not appropriate for non-Newtonian substances, and it common practice to plot flow curves of such malerials in terms of (apparent viscosity) against corresponding values of y. Many equations have been proposed to describe non-Newtonian behavior. Generally, however, the mathematics involved is not worth the effort except for the simplest problems. It is most efficient to read the required viscosity values from experimental rjn-y plots. These relations can usually be described over limited shear rate ranges by power law expressions of the form ... 

We must point out that all simple Newtonian substances, even such as air, water, and benzene, possess noticeable shear elasticity under very large loadings in the acoustic range of velocities. In this case, the characteristic deformation time must be of the order of 10-8 to 10 10s (these are approximate relaxation times for simple fluids). Under these conditions, all simple fluids can be treated as viscoelastic media.

The description given here is a gross over-simplification, but it does give a qualitative representation of the salient features of turbulent mixing. This whole process is similar to that of the turbulent flow of a flmd close to a boimdaiy surface. Although some quantitative results for the scale size of eddies have been obtained and some workers [van der Molen and van Maanen, 1978 Tatterson, 1991] have reported experimental measurements on the structure of turbulence in mixing vessels, these studies have little relevanee to the mixing of non-Newtonian substances which are usually processed under laminar conditions. 

The final Chapter 8 deals with the mixing of highly viscous and/or non-Newtonian substances, with particular emphasis on the estimation of power consumption and mixing time, and on equipment selection. 

Incompressibility of the fluid has generally been assumed throughout the book, albeit this is not always stated explicitly. This is a satisfactory approximation for most non-Newtonian substances, notable exceptions being the cases of foams and froths. Likewise, the assumption of isotropy is also reasonable in most cases except perhaps for liquid crystals and for fibre filled polymer matrices. Finally, although the slip effects are known to be important in some multiphase systems (suspensions, emulsions, etc.) and in narrow channels, the usual no-slip boundary condition is regarded as a good approximation in the type of engineering flow situations dealt with in this book.

The dawn of the nineteenth century saw a drastic shift from the dominance of French chemistry to first English-, and, later, German-influenced chemistry. Lavoisier s dualistic views of chemical composition and his explanation of combustion and acidity were landmarks but hardly made chemistry an exact science. Chemistry remained in the nineteenth century basically qualitative in its nature. Despite the Newtonian dream of quantifying the forces of attraction between chemical substances and compiling a table of chemical affinity, no quantitative generalization emerged. It was Dalton s chemical atomic theory and the laws of chemical combination explained by it that made chemistry an exact science. 

The effective surface viscosity is best found by experiment with the system in question, followed by back calculation through Eq. (22-55). From the precursors to Eq. (22-55), such experiments have yielded values of [L, on the order of (dyn-s)/cm for common surfactants in water at room temperature, which agrees with independent measurements [Lemhch, Chem. Eng. ScL, 23, 932 (1968) and Shih and Lem-lich. Am. Inst. Chem. Eng. J., 13, 751 (1967)]. However, the expected high [L, for aqueous solutions of such sldn-forming substances as saponin and albumin was not attained, perhaps because of their non-newtonian surface behavior [Shih and Lemhch, Ind. Eng. Chem. Fun-dam., 10, 254 (1971) andjashnani and Lemlich, y. Colloid Inteiface ScL, 46, 13(1974)]. 

The measurements are carried out at preselected shear rates. The resulting curves are plotted in form of flow-curves t (D) or viscosity-curves ti (D) and give information about the viscosity of a substance at certain shear rates and their rheological character dividing the substances in Newtonian and Non-Newtonian fluids. 

The rheological characteristics of AB cements are complex. Mostly, the unset cement paste behaves as a plastic or plastoelastic body, rather than as a Newtonian or viscoelastic substance. In other words, it does not flow unless the applied stress exceeds a certain value known as the yield point. Below the yield point a plastoelastic body behaves as an elastic solid and above the yield point it behaves as a viscoelastic one (Andrade, 1947). This makes a mathematical treatment complicated, and although the theories of viscoelasticity are well developed, as are those of an ideal plastic (Bingham body), plastoelasticity has received much less attention. In many AB cements, yield stress appears to be more important than viscosity in determining the stiffness of a paste.

The term "affinity" has its roots in very old ideas to the effect that like attracts like and that bodies combine with other bodies because of mutual affection or affinitas. This meaning is employed in Etienne Francois Geoffroy s Table des differents rapports observes entre differentes substances (1718) for replacement reactions.28 However, in the middle of the eighteenth century, Boerhaave spoke of the affinity of a substance for others unlike it, giving the word "affinity" a new meaning. Boerhaave interpreted Geoffroy s table as a representation of Newtonian-type forces of gravitational attraction or electrical attraction and repulsion.29...

Specific correlations of individual film coefficients necessarily are restricted in scope. Among the distinctions that are made are those of geometry, whether inside or outside of tubes for instance, or the shapes of the heat transfer surfaces free or forced convection laminar or turbulent flow liquids, gases, liquid metals, non-Newtonian fluids pure substances or mixtures completely or partially condensable air, water, refrigerants, or other specific substances fluidized or fixed particles combined convection and radiation and others. In spite of such qualifications, it should be... 

Since both components re generally non-Newtonian liquids and the droplet shape of the dispersed phase depends on shear stress, the rheological properties of these emulsions must be rather complicated. Consequently, the shear-stress dependence of the viscosity of the emulsions is caused not only by the characteristic properties of the macromolecular substances but also by the behavior of the dispersed phase in a shear field. 

Geoffroy carefully avoided Newtonian attraction in writing his paper. He began with an account of the selectivity of chemical reactions. Different bodies had certain relations that led them to combine readily with one another. These relations, he asserted, existed in different degrees and obeyed their own laws. Experiments showed that in a mixture of substances, one substance would always combine with another particular one, in preference to all others. Displacement reactions, where one substance drove another out of a compound and took its place, provided an insight into this selectivity. 

Chemical affinity is a concept that has been around for a long time but has kept changing. For centuries, it signified the attraction of similar substances for one another. Then it shifted to mean the attraction of opposite or unlike substances. In the seventeenth century, chemists invoked the fit of geometrical shapes and then Newtonian attraction to account for the way that different chemical substances had diverse but distinct attractions for one another. In the early eighteenth century, especially in France, affinity became a central organizing theory for classifying chemical substances and their reactions, but many chemists were reluctant to allow the concept of affinity any explanatory power.
