Viscosity & conductance Part 10 3 -4 -2013

Introduction Viscosity is a quantitative measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow. Dynamic (or Absolute) Viscosity: The dynamic viscosity(η) of a fluid is a measure of the resistance it offers to relative shearing motion ﺍﻟﺤﺮﻛﺔ ﺍﻟﻘﺼﻴﺔ. η= F/ [A×(u/h)] η= τ /(u/h) N-s/m² Kinematic Viscosity : It is defined as the ratio of absolute viscosity to the density of fluid. ν= η/ρ m²/s ; ρ= density of fluid

Viscosity Measurements Capillary Viscometers It gives the ‘kinematic viscosity’ of the fluid. It is based on Poiseuille’s law for steady viscous flow in a pipe.

Viscosity Measurements Rotational Viscometers These viscometer give the value of the ‘dynamic viscosity’. It is based on the principle that the fluid whose viscosity is being measured is sheared between two surfaces. In these viscometers one of the surfaces is stationary and the other is rotated by an external drive and the fluid fills the space in between. The measurements are conducted by applying either a constant torque and measuring the changes in the speed of rotation or applying a constant speed and measuring the changes in the torque. There are two main types of these viscometers: rotating cylinder and cone-on-plate viscometers

Effects of temperature The viscosity of liquids decreases with increase the temperature. The viscosity of gases increases with the increase the temperature.

Effects of temperature The lubricant oil viscosity at a specific temperature can be either calculated from the viscosity - temperature equation or obtained from the viscosity-temperature ASTM chart. Viscosity-Temperature Equations

Effects of temperature fig: Viscosity-temperature characteristics of selected oils

Viscosity index An entirely empirical parameter which would accurately describe the viscosity- temperature characteristics of the oils. The viscosity index is calculated by the following formula: VI = (L - U)/ (L - H) * 10 where , VI is viscosity index U is the kinematic viscosity of oil of interest L and H are the kinematic viscosity of the reference oils Fig. Shows the evaluation of viscosity index

Effects of pressure Lubricants viscosity increases with pressure. For most lubricants this effect is considerably largest than the other effects when the pressure is significantly above atmospheric. The Barus equation :

Effects of pressure

Viscosity - shear relationship For Newtonian fluids, shear stress linearly vary with the shear rate as shown in Figure. Viscosity is constant for this kind of fluid. τ = η (u/h) Non Newtonian fluid doesn’t follow the linear relation between viscosity and shear rate.

Viscosity – shear relationship Pseudoplastic Behaviour Pseudoplastic or shear thinning and is associated with the thinning of the fluid as the shear rate increases. Thixotropic Behaviour Thixotropic or shear duration thinning, is associated with a loss of consistency of the fluid as the duration of shear increases. The opposite of this behavior is known as inverse thixotropic.

Applications Selection of lubricants for various purpose. - we can choose an optimum range of viscosity for engine oil. - for high load and also for speed operation high viscous lubricants is required. In pumping operation - for high viscous fluid high power will require. - for low viscous fluid low power will require. In making of blend fuel - less viscous fuels easy to mix. In the operation of coating and printing.

Viscosity definations A measure of the resistance of flow due to internal friction when one layer of fluid is caused to move in relationship to another layer. The Poise represents absolute viscosity, the tangential force per unit area of either of two horizontal planes at unit distance apart, the space between being filled with the substance. A liquid with an absolute viscosity of one Poise requires a force of one dyne to maintain a velocity differential of one centimeter per second over a surface one centimeter square. When the ratio of shearing stress to the rate of shear is constant, as is the case with water and thin motor oils, the fluid is called a Newtonian fluid. In the case of non. Newtonian fluids, the ratio varies with the shearing stress, and viscosities of such fluids are called apparent viscosities. In the new SI system, it is proposed that values for the Poise be stated as Pascal seconds, the conversion factor being 1 Poise equal to 1 × 10 -1 Pa·s. A common measurement unit is the milli. Pascal second (m. Pa·s). Conversion factors are as follows: 1 centipoise (c. P) = 0. 01 poise (P) 1 Pa·s = 10 P 1 c. P = 0. 001 Pa·s = 1 m. Pa·s 1 Pa·s = 1000 c. P

Viscosities Absolute Viscosity: The tangential force per unit area of two parallel planes at unit distance apart when the space between them is filled with a fluid and one plane moves with unit velocity in its own plane relative to the other. Also known as coefficient of viscosity. Apparent Viscosity : The value obtained by applying the instrumental equations used in obtaining the viscosity of a Newtonian fluid to viscometer measurements of a non. Newtonian fluid. . Dilute Solution Viscosity: The viscosity of a dilute solution of a polymer, measured under prescribed conditions, is an indication of the molecular weight of the polymer and can be used to calculate the degree of polymerization

Kinematic Viscosity: The absolute viscosity of a fluid divided by the density of the fluid. Also known as the coefficient of kinematic viscosity. Measured in stokes (St) or centistokes (c. St). One centistoke = 0. 01 stokes. The metric unit is square metres per second (m 2/s). A common metric measurement unit in glass capillary viscometry is millimeters squared per second (mm 2/s). Conversion factors are as follows: 1 St = 1 x 10 -4 m 2/s 1 m 2/s = 10, 000 St 1 c. St = 1 x 10 -6 m 2/s = 1 mm 2/s 1 m 2/s = 1, 000 c. St Centistokes may be converted to centipoise (c. P) by multiplying by the density of the fluid being measured, all measured at the same temperature

Intrinsic Viscosity ([η]): The ratio of a solution’s specific viscosity to the concentration of the solute, extrapolated to zero concentration. Intrinsic viscosity reflects the capability of a polymer in solution to enhance the viscosity of the solution. The viscosity behavior of macromolecular substances in solution is one of the most frequently used approaches for characterization. The intrinsic viscosity number is defined as the limiting value of the specific viscosity/concentration ratio at zero concentration. Intrinsic viscosity is determined by measuring the relative viscosity at several different concentrations and then extrapolating the specific viscosity to zero concentration. The variation of the viscosity number with concentration depends on the type of molecule as well as the solvent. In general, the intrinsic viscosity of linear macromolecular substances is related to the molecular weight or degree of polymerization. With linear macromolecules, viscosity number measurements can provide a method for the rapid determination of molecular weight when the relationship between viscosity and molecular weight has been established. Intrinsic viscosity is calculated by determining the reduced viscosity (ηsp/c) and extrapolating to infinite dilution. Huggins equation c→ 0 η = ηred

Craemer equation η = lim ηinh Where: c = concentration of polymer in grams per 100 milliliters of solution Also known as LIMITING VISCOSITY NUMBER. Inherent Viscosity (ηinh): The quotient of the natural logarithm of relative viscosity and the concentration. Inherent viscosity (ηinh) is expressed in the following equation: η red=ηrel-1/c

Relative Viscosity (ηrel): The ratio of the viscosities of the polymers olution (of stated concentration) and of the puresolvent at the same temperature. Also known as SOLUTIONSOLVENT VISCOSITY RATIO. Specific Viscosity (ηsp) The relative viscosity of a polymer solution of known concentration minus 1; usually determined at low concentration of the polymer; for example, 0. 5 gram per 100 milliliters of solution, or less.
