Viscosity numerical values

The 2eta potential (Fig. 8) is essentially the potential that can be measured at the surface of shear that forms if the sohd was to be moved relative to the surrounding ionic medium. Techniques for the measurement of the 2eta potentials of particles of various si2es are collectively known as electrokinetic potential measurement methods and include microelectrophoresis, streaming potential, sedimentation potential, and electro osmosis (19). A numerical value for 2eta potential from microelectrophoresis can be obtained to a first approximation from equation 2, where Tf = viscosity of the liquid, e = dielectric constant of the medium within the electrical double layer, = electrophoretic velocity, and E = electric field. 

As in die case of die diffusion properties, die viscous properties of die molten salts and slags, which play an important role in die movement of bulk phases, are also very stiiicture-seiisitive, and will be refeiTed to in specific examples. For example, die viscosity of liquid silicates are in die range 1-100 poise. The viscosities of molten metals are very similar from one metal to anodier, but die numerical value is usually in die range 1-10 centipoise. This range should be compared widi die familiar case of water at room temperature, which has a viscosity of one centipoise. An empirical relationship which has been proposed for die temperature dependence of die viscosity of liquids as an AiTlienius expression is... 

Although the viscosity B-coefficients in methanol are known for very few solutes, the numerical values in Table 23 suggest that the values would be positive, even for such solutes as KNO3 and Csl, which have the largest negative coefficients in aqueous solution. 

The same equation applies to other solvents. It is often easier to incorporate an expression for the diffusion coefficient than a numerical value, which may not be available. According to the Stokes-Einstein equation,6 diffusion coefficients can be estimated from the solvent viscosity by... 

It will be noted that the dimensions of k are ML-IT" 2, that is they are dependent on the value of n. Values of k for fluids with different n values cannot therefore be compared. Numerically, k is the value of the apparent viscosity (or shear stress) at unit shear rate and this numerical value will depend on the units used for example the value of A at a shear rate of 1 s-1 will be different from that at a shear rate of 1 h 1. 

It is worth rioting that the dependence of the bubble size with the liquid viscosity vanishes. Finally, by replacing in Eq. (26), fcg, a, and d by their known numerical values, and by developing Cb as kuPo, one obtains... 

Substitution of numerical values for physical constants yields the following equations for 1 1 electrolytes, in terms of the sum of the ionic radii, a (in angstroms) the dielectric constant, D the absolute temperature, T (in Kelvin) and the viscosity, tj (in poise) ... 

In order to calculate the numerical values of transfer coefficients, values of the molecular properties are required. In the next section, we present estimation methods for viscosity, diffusivity, thermal conductivity and surface tension, for the high-pressure gas. 

It is to be noted that in the above discussion although the numerical values of the prefactor is close to 6n, it does not in any way imply the stick boundary condition. The above calculation is based only on microscopic considerations on the other hand, the boundary condition can only be obtained by studying the somewhat macroscopic velocity profile of the solvent. Thus, the main point here is that in the high-density liquid regime, the ratio of the friction to the viscosity attains a constant value independent of the density and the temperature. 

It has already been pointed out that in model experiments the pi-number and not the x-quantity should be varied. This results in various advantages. On the one hand, the pi-number is varied by changing the most available, the most manageable or the cheapest x-quantity constituting it (example changing the Reynolds number by varying the kinematic viscosity of the fluid). In addition, the evaluation of the test results is made easier, because in varying a certain pair of pi-numbers, the numerical values of all the other pi-numbers remain constant (11 = idem). 

The first question, we must ask, is Are laboratory tests performed in one singfe piece of laboratory equipment - i.e. on one single scale - capable of providing reliable information on the decisive process number (or combination of numbers) Although we can change Fr by means of the stirrer speed, Q by means of the gas throughput and Re (or Ga) by means of the liquid viscosity independent of each other, we must accept the fact that a change in viscosity will alter not only Re but also the numerical values of the material numbers, o", v /v, and, very probably, S/. 

Numerical values of these quantities can be obtained from measurements of light scattering (see Chap. 10) and of the limiting viscosity number of polymer solutions, especially in -conditions. From Eq. (9.15) it follows that ... 

Although there are numerous publications on the effect of natural and synthetic antioxidants on the stability of oils and fats used as food and feed, until recently relatively little publicly available information was available on the effect of antioxidants on the oxidative stability of biodiesel. One of the earliest studies reporting of the effects of antioxidants on biodiesel was that of Du Plessis et aL (1985), which examined storage stability of sunflower oil methyl esters (SFME) at various temperatures for 90 d. Effects of air temperature, presence of light, addition of TBHQ (see Figure 1.1) and contact with steel were evaluated by analysis of free fatty acid content, PV, kinematic viscosity, anisidine value, and induction period. Addition of TBHQ delayed oxidation of samples stored at moderate temperatures (<30°C). In contrast, under unfavorable (50°C) conditions, TBHQ was ineffective. 

Foam exhibits higher apparent viscosity and lower mobility within permeable media than do its separate constituents.(1-3) This lower mobility can be attained by the presence of less than 0.1% surfactant in the aqueous fluid being injected.(4) The foaming properties of surfactants and other properties relevant to surfactant performance in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes are dependent upon surfactant chemical structure. Alcohol ethoxylates and alcohol ethoxylate derivatives were chosen to study techniques of relating surfactant performance parameters to chemical structure. These classes of surfactants have been evaluated as mobility control agents in laboratory studies (see references 5 and 6 and references therein). One member of this class of surfactants has been used in three field trials.(7-9) These particular surfactants have well defined structures and chemical structure variables can be assigned numerical values. Commercial products can be manufactured in relatively high purity. 

For the case of single phase pipe flow, von Karman (] ) selected the universal velocity profile. The value of eddy viscosity was obtained from the slope of the velocity profile. Further, it was assumed that the numerical values of eddy viscosity and the eddy diffusivity are the same. The following equation was obtained ... 

For ellipsoids of revolution the numerical values of va and vb have been tabulated by Scheraga (1955), and the sum of va and vb (i.e., vr at oj = 0) is identical with the viscosity increment from Simha s equation. Thus Eq. (43) provides an alternative method to that of the non-Newtonian viscosity for the determination of the rotary diffusion coefficient, 0. Cerf has also pointed out that 0 is determinable from the slope at the inflection point (I.P.) of the vr versus w-curve, i.e., w(I.P.) = 2 /30. At present, however, no experimental test of Eq. (43) has as yet been reported. 

At low enough shear rates, polymeric nematics ought to obey the same Leslie-Ericksen continuum theory that describes so well the behavior of small-molecule nematics. The main difference is that polymers have a much higher molecular aspect ratio than do small molecules, which leads to greater inequalities in the the numerical values of the various viscosities and Frank constants and to much higher viscosities. 

X) and (1/2)V x u - The bulk viscosity is rjy. Note that the numerical values of these viscosities are different from those in Section 4. Therefore we have primed these viscosities. In order to find simple fluctuation relations for them we have to use an ensemble where the thermodynamic forces are constants of motion and the fluxes are zero mean fluctuating phase functions. This can be done if both the director angular velocity and the streaming angular... 

Fig. 6 shows the curve-fit of n vs. m dependence for Series I and II blends by means of Equation 20. Ihe fitting procedure generated the numerical values of the four parameters of the equation ng, t, mj and m2. It was found that the zero shear viscosity of homopolymers and blends followed the relation ... 

The functional dependency, Eq. (1.62), is all that dimensional analysis can offer here. It cannot provide any information about the form of the function /. This can only be obtained experimentally. These experiments can however be carried out in a considerably simpler manner, since not the individual parameter but the numerical value of the process number Re has to be varied. This can be achieved by varying the stirrer speed n, the stirrer diameter d or the kinematic viscosity v. It is simplest to vary the kinematic viscosity, which can be varied over orders of magnitude in liquid mixtures of water and glycerine or molasses. In this way measurements were carried out to determine the power characteristic Ne(Re) of a blade stirrer of fixed geometry in a tank, see Fig. 1.36.
