Temperature Dependent Viscosity of Some Gases and Liquids. 

PPG (at higher temperatures) behaves like a typical pseudoplastic non-Newtonian fluid. The activation energy of the viscosity in dependence of shear rate (284-2846 Hz) and Mn was detected using a capillary rheometer in the temperature range of 150-180°C at 3.0-5.5 kJ/mol (28,900 Da) and 12-13 kJ/mol (117,700 Da) [15]. The temperature-dependent viscosity for a PPG of 46 kDa between 70 and 170°G was also determined by DMA (torsion mode). A master curve was constructed using the time-temperature superposition principle [62] at a reference temperature of 150°G (Fig. 5) (Borchardt and Luinstra, unpublished data). A plateau for G was not observed for this molecular weight. The temperature-dependent shift factors ax were used to determine the Arrhenius activation energy of about 25 kJ/mol (Borchardt and Luinstra, unpublished data). 

An interesting class of polymer matrices widely employed for CSE consists of temperature-dependent, viscosity-adjustable polymer solutions that are filled into the capillary at one temperature at low viscosities and are used in separation at another temperature at entanglement threshold concentrations and higher viscosities. Such viscosity-adjustable polymers are termed thermoresponsive...

The viscometric data of poly[(a-carboxymethyl)ethyl isocyanide] in simple solvents surprisingly also show a very slow temperature-dependent viscosity decay phenomenon (8,9). Still more surprising, gel permeation chromatography shows no evidence of changes in the hydrodynamic volume over the time periods of decay. 

There is a wide-spread literature on methods for temperature-dependent viscosity estimation. Their discussion and further references can be found elsewhere [1,2,17,18,19,20,21], Usually, these methods are based on various input data, such as density, boiling point, and critical point. Dynamic viscosities of most gases increase with increasing temperature. Dynamic viscosities of most liquids, including water, decrease rapidly with increasing temperature [18]. 

To illustrate the effect of thermal gradients and temperature dependent viscosity, we can plot a dimensionless velocity, ux/U0 as a function of dimensionless position, y/h, for various values of thermal imbalance between the surfaces, i. Note that Q, the product between the temperature dependence of the viscosity and the temperature imbalance is also a dimensionless quantity. This gives a fully dimensionless graph that can be used to assess many case scenarios. Figure 6.59 presents dimensionless velocity distributions across the plates for various dimensionless temperature imbalances, ft. 

Power law model fluid with temperature dependent viscosity m0 = e( a(-T Tm The rate of melting is strongly dependent on the shear thinning behavior and the temperature dependent viscosity of the polymer melt. However, we can simplify the problem significantly by assuming that the viscous dissipation is low enough that the temperature profile used to compute the viscosity is linear, i.e.,...

The first milestone in modeling the process is credited to Pearson and Petrie (42—44). who laid the mathematical foundation of the thin-film, steady-state, isothermal Newtonian analysis presented below. Petrie (45) simulated the process using either a Newtonian fluid model or an elastic solid model in the Newtonian case, he inserted the temperature profile obtained experimentally by Ast (46), who was the first to deal with nonisothermal effects and solve the energy equation to account for the temperature-dependent viscosity. Petrie (47) and Pearson (48) provide reviews of these early stages of mathematical foundation for the analysis of film blowing. 

Experiments on ILs have generally shown a highly non-Arrhenius behavior that is well described by the VFT equation. Xu et al. [149] report the temperature-dependent viscosity of a series of covalently stable ILs, and note that the VFT equation fits the temperature dependence of the fluidity quite well. A series of studies by Watanabe and co-workers [167-169] on a range of different ILs shows that the VFT provides a good fit to diffusion constants, molar conductivity and viscosity.
