Q

What is the apparent viscosity equation for newtonian fluids?

A

Πapp = shear stress/shear rate = σ/γ

17
Q

Why do plastic and pseudoplastic have their graph shape?

A

Shear thinning

18
Q

What is the power law when related to shear stress?

A

σ = Π’γ^n
Π’ = viscosity coefficient
γ = shear rate
n = rate index

19
Q

What is the power law in graphic form?

A

logσ = nLogγ + LogΠ’

20
Q

A

n = 1

21
Q

What is the value of n in pseudoplastic flow?

A

n < 1

22
Q

What is the value of n in dilatant flow?

A

n > 1

23
Q

What is the value of n in plastic flow?

A

n < 1 and y intercept = σ0

24
Q

What are the units of viscosity?

A

Pa.s

25
Q

Equation for rotational viscometers

A

Π = T/kw
T = torque
w = speed of rotation
k = constant

26
Q

Equation for falling sphere viscometer

A

v = 2a^2 g(σ-ρ) / 9n
a = radius of ball
σ = density of ball
ρ = density of fluid
Π = viscosity
g = acceleration due to gravity

27
Q

What is thixotropy?

A

To change by tough

28
Q

What is the area inside the rheogram of a thixotropic fluid measuring?

A

Degree of breakdown

29
Q

Why does thixotropy show up on a rheogram?

A

Viscosity is usually measured by increasing shear rate from 0 to a maximum and then decreasing at the same rate. This creates an increasing and decreasing curve

30
Q

Strain equation

A

Strain = ΔL/L

Strain = change in length/original length

31
Q

Strain percentage equation

A

Strain = ΔL/L x 100

32
Q

Rate of shear equation

A

Rate of shear = dv/dr
