Rheology Flashcards
Stress
Force per unit area that leads to deformation
Strain
Resulting deformation
Elastic
Material fully recovers when stress removed
Viscosity
Internal resistance involved in the relative motion of one layer of molecules with respect to the next
What happens to viscosity of a gas upon heating?
Viscosity increases due to increasing internal friction
What happens to viscosity of a liquid upon heating?
Viscosity reduces as there is decreased contact
Equation for dynamic viscosity
log(Π) = E/RT + logA
Equation for relative viscosity
Πrel = Π1/Π2 = t1p1/t2p2
Equation for relative viscosity when p1 ≅ p2
Πrel = t1/t2
Equation for specific viscosity
Πspecific = Πrel - 1
Equation for reduced viscosity
Πred = Πsp/c
Intrinsic viscosity
Theoretical viscosity at 0 concentration
How is intrinsic viscosity found?
Plot reduced viscosity against concentration. y-intercept is intrinsic viscosity
3 types of non-newtonian flow
Plastic, pseudoplastic and dilatant
What type of flow has a yield stress?
Plastic
