rheology of liquids Flashcards
difference between rheology and viscosity
rheology - flow prop of materials
viscosity - resistance of a liquid to flow when subjected to stress
rheology affects what ( 6 )
- packing
- mixing
- lfow thru pipes
physical stability
drug absorption
spreading and adherence
draw the diagram with f , a , dv and dr
draw the graphs of determining n
and the eqn relating shear stress and shear rate
-shear stress = n x rate
examples of newtonian liquids
water, organic solvents, oils and true solutions
true solutions like saline, dextrose, salt solution and sugar solution
suspensions and emusiosn that are q dilute
what happens to the graph if axis are swapped
the graph becomes reflected like a mirror image
shear thinning vs shear thickening
thinning - viscosity dec when stress applied
thickening - viscosity inc when stress applied
plastic flow draw the graph and what are the properties
- dosent move immediately
- shear thinning
- fb yield value must be applied before appreicable flow begins
- apparent viscosity dependant on the shear rate
- for flocculated particles
pseudoplastic flow draw the graph and what are the properites
- move straight away
- shear thinning
- for long polymer molecules
- linearity @ high stress values
eqn for this is F^N = n’G
N > 1 ( index for pseudoplasticity )
pseudoplastic flow for which kind of materials
aq dispersions of hydrocolloids such as tragacanth, alginates, methylcellulose, and synthetic materials like polyvinylpyrrolidone
dilatant flow graph and properties
- move immediately
- shear thickening , convex shape
- apparent viscosity dependant on the shear rate
eqn : N < 1
F^N = n’G
common w deflocculated particles
why is shear thickening problematic for production
- liquid can freeze when high speed stirring bc of resistance to flow, exert overload on the motor and itll burn
dilatant flow for which kind of materials
suspensions with high concentration > 50% of small deflocculated particles
non - newtonian liquid consists of what
solid component with flocculated, deflocculated particles or long molecules
when shearing of non newtonian liquids occur, structural changes occur which are dependant on
- rate of shear
- duration of shear
- freq of shear
structural changes as a result of shearing of non newtonian liquids is reversible or non reversible
often reversible
