Rheological models complex viscosity

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. 

The rheology of blends of linear and branched PLA architectures has also been comprehensively investigated [42, 44]. For linear architectures, the Cox-Merz rule relating complex viscosity to shear viscosity is valid for a large range of shear rates and frequencies. The branched architecture deviates from the Cox-Merz equality and blends show intermediate behavior. Both the zero shear viscosity and the elasticity (as measured by the recoverable shear compliance) increase with increasing branched content. For the linear chain, the compliance is independent of temperature, but this behavior is apparently lost for the branched and blended materials. These authors use the Carreau-Ya-suda model. Equation 10.29, to describe the viscosity shear rate dependence of both linear and branched PLAs and their blends ... 

To facilitate data reduction, a model of the rheological response is desirable. The Havrihak and Negami (HN) model for complex viscosity is written as... 

Further examinations showed the temperature dependence of the structure by employing combined/hyphenated temperature-dependent measurements. By combination of T-WAXS, T-SAXS [133], temperature-dependent F solid state NMR, rheology (complex viscosity as function of temperature/frequency) [134] as well as dielectric spectroscopy [135] proved the probability of the model and the change of the structure with temperature. 

Rheological models have been described for steady shear viscosity function, normal stress difference function, complex viscosity function, dynamic modulus function and the extensional viscosity function. The variation of viscosity with temperature and pressure is also discussed. 

This new model is more simple and accurate than the previous one. However, the fitting parameters are interaction parameters as they don t reflect a simple dependence. Parameter Ci multiplies the complex viscosity of the resin, but depends on the oil concentration. This dependence could be due to the influence of the oil-resin fraction, which determines the cohesion of the synthetic binder. Parameter C2 multiplies the complex viscosity of the oil-polymer blend, but depends on the resin-polymer ratio, perhaps due to the interaction between the resin and the vinyl-acetate groups present in the EVA copolymer [20]. And finally, parameter C3 is independent of complex viscosity, but depends on the polymer concentration, probably due to the strong influence of the polymer on the fluidity of the samples, which is clearly present in a rheological test such as the temperature sweep test. 

The rheological models for unified conq>lex viscosity versus frequency curves can be ea y written based on the modified Cox-Mertz rule discussed in Quarter 5. Thus, using Eq. (5.5), the modified Carreau model for complex viscosity can be written from Eq. (6.1) as... 

Correlation of rheological data and models with the flow behavior of polymer solutions in porous media has been complicated by the many interactions that occur between the complex porous matrix and the polymer solutions. Some data have been correlated " using non-Newtonian rheological models to describe the variation of fluid viscosity... 

Both of these models show contributions from the viscosity and the elasticity, and so both these models show viscoelastic behaviour. You can visualise a more complex combination of models possessing more complex constitutive equations and thus able to describe more complex rheological profiles. 

Mathematical Modeling of Emulsion Rheology Food emulsions are compositionally and structurally complex materials that can exhibit a wide range of different rheological behavior, ranging from low-viscosity fluids (such as milk...
