Shear viscosity simple

We notice, using (A3.1.20) and (A3.1.26), that this method leads to a simple relation between the coefficients of shear viscosity and themial conductivity, given by... 

Unlike shear viscosity, extensional viscosity has no meaning unless the type of deformation is specified. The three types of extensional viscosity identified and measured are uniaxial or simple, biaxial, and pure shear. Uniaxial viscosity is the only one used to characterize fluids. It has been employed mainly in the study of polymer melts, but also for other fluids. For a Newtonian fluid, the uniaxial extensional viscosity is three times the shear viscosity ... 

In the Irvine-Park falling needle viscometer (FNV) (194), the moving body is a needle. A small-diameter glass or stainless steel needle falls vertically in a fluid. The viscous properties and density of the fluid are derived from the velocity of the needle. The technique is simple and useflil for measuring low (down to lO " ) shear viscosities. The FNV-100 is a manual instmment designed for the measurement of transparent Newtonian and non-Newtonian... 

For liquids, few simple and widely accepted theories have been developed. The shear viscosity can be related to the way in which spontaneous fluctuations relax in an equilibrium system, leading to the time correlation function expression " " ... 

On the basis of a relationship between T Sp and the dimensionless product c [rj], simple three-term equations can be developed to correlate the zero-shear viscosity with the concentration and molar mass. 

Many materials are conveyed within a process facility by means of pumping and flow in a circular pipe. From a conceptual standpoint, such a flow offers an excellent opportunity for rheological measurement. In pipe flow, the velocity profile for a fluid that shows shear thinning behavior deviates dramatically from that found for a Newtonian fluid, which is characterized by a single shear viscosity. This is easily illustrated for a power-law fluid, which is a simple model for shear thinning [1]. The relationship between the shear stress, a, and the shear rate, y, of such a fluid is characterized by two parameters, a power-law exponent, n, and a constant, m, through... 

We can also calculate other viscoelastic properties in the limit of low shear rate (linear viscoelastic limit) near the LST. The above simple spectrum can be integrated to obtain the zero shear viscosity 0, the first normal stress coefficient if/1 at vanishing shear rate, and the equilibrium compliance J... 

This is an extended exponential. It operates within the remit of linear viscoelastic theory. So for example for a simple exponential we can show that the integral under the relaxation function gives the low shear viscosity ... 

This result is interesting, since it gives the slip length as a function of parameters that can be measured experimentally or a priori, for simple systems in a linear approximation. The bulk shear viscosity can be approximated from the literature, and the monolayer density can be determined from optical techniques. To a first approximation, for rigidly adsorbed layers, the sliptime is related to the autocorrelation function of random momentum fluctuations in the film, given by [40]... 

Now the functions for doing simple power law-dependent simulations are developed. The zero-shear viscosity, //o. is 1.268 x 10 Pa-s as shown by Fig. 3.22 and the viscosity data in Table 3.6. This holds for all shear rates in the plateau range. For the power law fit, the last six entries in Table 3.6 are used to develop a regression fit, and then the line is extrapolated back to lower shear rates. The regression fit is as follows ... 

Performing numerical simulations of the extrusion process requires that the shear viscosity be available as a function of shear rate and temperature over the operating conditions of the process. Many models have been developed, and the best model for a particular application will depend on the rheological response of the resin and the operating conditions of the process. In other words, the model must provide an acceptable viscosity for the shear rates and temperatures of the process. The simple models presented here include the power law. Cross, and Carreau models. An excellent description of a broad range of models was presented previously by Tadmor and Gogos [4]. 

Measurements of Viscosity and Elasticity in Shear (Simple Shear) Shear viscosity J] and shear elasticity G are determined by evaluating the coefficients of the variables x and x, respectively, which result when the geometry of the system has been taken into account. The resulting equation of state balances stress against shear rate y (reciprocal seconds) and shear y (dimensionless) as the kinematic variables. For a purely elastic, or Hookean, response ... 

Chapter HI relates to measurement of flow properties of foods that are primarily fluid in nature, unithi.i surveys the nature of viscosity and its relationship to foods. An overview of the various flow behaviors found in different fluid foods is presented. The concept of non-Newtonian foods is developed, along with methods for measurement of the complete flow curve. The quantitative or fundamental measurement of apparent shear viscosity of fluid foods with rotational viscometers or rheometers is described, unithi.2 describes two protocols for the measurement of non-Newtonian fluids. The first is for time-independent fluids, and the second is for time-dependent fluids. Both protocols use rotational rheometers, unit hi.3 describes a protocol for simple Newtonian fluids, which include aqueous solutions or oils. As rotational rheometers are new and expensive, many evaluations of fluid foods have been made with empirical methods. Such methods yield data that are not fundamental but are useful in comparing variations in consistency or texture of a food product, unit hi.4 describes a popular empirical method, the Bostwick Consistometer, which has been used to measure the consistency of tomato paste. It is a well-known method in the food industry and has also been used to evaluate other fruit pastes and juices as well. 

For simple fluids, also known as Newtonian fluids, it is easy to predict the ease with which they will be poured, pumped, or mixed in either an industrial or end-use situation. This is because the shear viscosity or resistance to flow is a constant at any given temperature and pressure. The fluids that fall into this category are few and far between, because they are of necessity simple in structure. Examples are water, oils, and sugar solutions (e.g., honey unit hi.3), which have no dispersed phases and no molecular interactions. All other fluids are by definition non-Newtonian, so the viscosity is a variable, not a constant. Non-Newtonian fluids are of great interest as they encompass almost all fluids of industrial value. In the food industry, even natural products such as milk or polysaccharide solutions are non-Newtonian. 

Steady shear viscosity measurements are very simple and are often used in practice. Very often a viscosity of 103 Pas is arbitrarily identified with the gel point. But the determined gelation time, tgei, depends on the shear rate, and extrapolation to zero shear rate meets the following difficulties ... 

Based on thermodynamic considerations, criteria for the existence of domains in the melt in simple shear fields are developed. Above a critical shear stress, experimental data for the investigated block copolymers form a master curve when reduced viscosity is plotted against reduced shear rate. Furthermore the zero shear viscosity corresponding to data above a critical shear stress follow the WLF equation for temperatures in a range Tg + 100°C. This temperature dependence is characteristic of homopolymers. The experimental evidence indicates that domains exist in the melt below a critical value of shear stress. Above a critical shear stress the last traces of the domains are destroyed and a melt where the single polymer molecules constitute the flow units is formed in simple shear flow fields. 

The flow of gases and simple liquids can be described by a single property the shear viscosity or viscosity for short. You can measure the viscosity by shearing the liquid between two parallel plates (as in Figure C4-1). This causes a velocity gradient normal to the direction of the motion (also known as the shear rate). The viscosity is the ratio of the shear stress to the... 

In modeling the interaction of a liquid with plate modes, the high frequency of operation necessitates the consideration of viscoelastic response by the liquid. For the simple liquids examined, good agreement was obtained by modeling the liquid as a Maxwellian fluid with a single relaxation time r. When the Maxwellian fluid is driven in oscillatory flow with cot < 1, it responds as a Newtonian fluid characterized by the shear viscosity, rj. For wt > 1, the oscillation rate approaches the rate of molecular motion in the liquid and energy ceases to be dissipated in... 

A simple substance such as water below its freezing point is a hard three-dimensional crystalline solid, and above its freezing point it is a low-viscosity Newtonian liquid. In the liquid state, the mechanical properties of such a substance are specified by its shear viscosity T], which is of course temperature- and pressure-dependent. 

These coefficients, along with the shear viscosity rj = cyii/y, often approach constant values at low shear rates these are called the zero-shear values, rjo, 4>i,o, and 4 2,o- Figure 1-9 shows for a polyethylene melt that the zero-shear constant values of rj r]o and 4 1 — 4/1,0 are approached at low shear rates. For a viscoelastic simple liquid with fading memory, the zero-shear values of the viscosity and first normal stress coefficient are related to the zero-frequency values of the dynamic moduli by... 

As a second simple example, consider how the zero-shear viscosity t q shifts with temperature. Since tjo — limaj >.o G" jo), we have--------------------------------------...
