Q

Newtonian liquids follow the Newton’s Law of Flow, what is the equation telling us about this?

A

Shear rate is directly proportional to the shear stress

shear stress = n * shear rate

the flow curve of a newtonian liquid shows a straight line passing through the origin.

newtonian liquids have constant viscosity.

Q

What are the characteristics of plastic flow (bingham flow)

A

liquid behaves as an elastic solid at low shear stress, upon applying a certain shear stress Fb, then there will be an appreciable flow.

at shear stress above Fb, the liquid resembles a newtonian system.

shear thinning (i.e the more force u add, the viscosity will fall)

Q

What is Bingham’s equation

A 
U = (F-f) / G
where U is plastic viscosity
F is shear stress
f is yield value
G is shear rate

plastic flow is associated with the presence of flocculated particles in a concentrated suspension.

Q

Similarities and differences of plastic and pseudoplastic flow?

A

Both have shear thinning
Both flow curves tend to linearity at higher shear stress

Pseudoplastic will flow as soon as shear stress is applied whereas plastic need at least Fb.

Q

Dilatant flow properties?

A

Similar to Pseudoplastic, the liquid will flow as soon as shear stress is applied.

Exhibits shear thickening

F^N = n’G
same empirical equation as depicted in pseudoplastic flow. in this case N value is <1
N is the index of dilatancy.

15
Q

why does dilatant flow properties pose a problem in production?

A

When producing liquids, we use mixers like turbine, propeller and paddle mixers.

At high rotation rates in propeller mixers, liquid displaying dilatant flow will exhibit strong shear thickening and the liquid may ‘freeze’, which hinders the process of manufacturing.

Q

What are the 2 important factors of thixotropy?

A

Exhibits shear thinning

Slow recovery of apparent viscosity on standing

19
Q

Why is thixotropy good for liquid preparations?

A

Upon standing, viscosity of liquid is high. Based on stokes law, the rate of creaming will be slower.

Upon shaking, drug can be easily homogenised due to shear thinning properties, also makes it easy to pour the drug out.

20
Q

Liquids that are composed of flocculated particles or long molecules usually exhibit what property?

A

thixotropy

21
Q

Difference between kinematic viscosity vs dynamic viscosity?

A

dynamic viscosity = shear stress/ shear rate

whereas kinematic viscosity = dynamic viscosity / density

22
Q

Absolute viscosity vs apparent viscosity?

A

absolute used to measure newtonian fluids

apparent used to measure non-newtonian fluids

23
Q

Does temperature affect viscosity?

A

yes

24
Q

What type of instruments is the best for newtonian liquids.

A

Since a single point determination is adequate, we can use a one point instrument that operate at a single shear rate i.e capillary viscometer.

25
Q

What types of instruments can be used for non-newtonian liquids

A

Since shear rate not directly proportional with shear stress, we need multiple point instruments that operate over a range of shear rates to get a complete rheogram. Example: rotational viscometer

26
Q

Example of capillary viscometers?

A

U-tube viscometer

suspended level viscometer

27
Q

example of rotational viscometer?

A

concentric cylinder viscometer

cone and plate viscometer

28
Q

What can we obtain from poiseuilles law to calculate relative viscosity of 2 liquids?

A

n1/n2 = t1p1/t2p2

since kinematic viscosity: v = n/p

v1/v2 = t1/t2

29
Q

What are the sizings for U-tube viscometer?

A

Size A to H

30
Q

How long should flow time be from size A to size H of U-tube viscometers?

A

At least 300s for A

at least 200s for all other sizes

31
Q

What are the sizings for Suspended-level viscometer?

A

9 sizes:
1, 1A, 2, 2A, 3, 3A, 4, 4A, 5

Size 1 should flow at least 300s
other sizes at least 200s

32
Q

What are the advantages of Suspended-level viscometer over U-tube viscometer?

A

no need to fill the viscometer with a precise volume of liquid

can be used for very viscous liquid (20000 to 100,000 mm^2s^-1, 10x higher than that of u-tubes)

33
Q

what are certain precautions to look out for while using capillary viscometers

A

Ensure streamline flow by avoiding vibration and maintaining a minimum flow time
liquid should be free from air bubbles
ensure viscometer is clean before use
ensure viscometer is clamped vertically
ensure accurate temperature control (in a water bath)

34
Q

The searle type of concentric cylinder viscometer is defined by the rotation of the _______ cylinder. Whereas the Couette type is defined by rotation of the _______ cylinder.

A

Inner, outer.

35
Q

What are the terms that can be varied to show the change in viscosities in the concentric cylinder viscometer?

A

angular deflection and angular velocity of the outer cylinder.

36
Q

What is the most commonly used viscometer for non-newtonian liquids

A

brookfield viscometer

37
Q

What are problems of concentric cylinder viscometers?

A

shear rate of test liquid across the gap is not constant
end effects can be significant
frictional heating is significant at high shear rate
filling is difficult if gap is small
large volume of test liquid is required if the gap is big

38
Q

Describe the cone and plate viscometer

A

consists of flat circular plate with a wide angled cone placed centrally above

the angle between plate and cone should be small to avoid edge effect

39
Q

What terms can be varied to measure the viscosity of the liquid in a cone and plate viscometer?

A 
G = torque on the cone
omega = radial velocity of the plate
40
Q

Main advantages of the cone and plate viscometer

A

volume of test liquid needed is small
filling and cleaning is easy
shear rate is constant throughout the test liquid

41
Q

A

Redwood viscometer and flow cups

42
Q

function of redwood viscometer?

A

used in BP to determine the viscosity of a standard solution of tragacanth relative to that of water (as a qualitative test)

43
Q

How does Efflux viscometers work?

A

They measure the time taken for a given volume of liquid to flow through a small orifice, gives a comparative result instead of a quantitative result.
