The apparent viscosity of aircraft grease with different nano-particles content, temperature and shear rates were studied using a rotational viscometer. The rheological properties of two types of aircraft grease, the basic grease and the one with nano-particles additives, were investigated using a rheometer. The results indicated that the apparent viscosity increases with the increase of nanoparticle concentration with the given ratio of nano-particles added. It was also found that the grease with and without the nano-particles both have yield stresses and clear shear-thinning properties. The shear-thinning phenomenon of the grease containing nano-particles is more evident than that of the basic grease. The experimental results also reveal that the rheological characteristics of both types of grease fall in Herschel-Bulkley class, and the nano-particles have a significant influence on the rheological parameters. At the end, the rheology mechanism was discussed based on the entanglement and orientation theories.

Abstract The viscometer manufactured by A. Macklow-Smith Ltd., which operates at constant rate of extrusion, is a capillary instrument designed for the determination of flow properties of plastics. The instrument has been used for examining the rheological characteristics of rubber compounds and it has been possible to derive the shear stresses required to extrude material at various shear rates between 2 and 1050 sec−1. The general method of operation of the instrument for this purpose is discussed including the determination of preheat time before extrusion and the aspect of incipient vulcanization in the viscometer during extrusion. The effects of various lengths and diameters of dies on rheological parameters and entrance effects are discussed. An important aspect of the work is the observation of a piston height effect in the extruder barrel. Two different compounded polymers have been examined and in one case, the extrusion pressure was found to decrease with piston height whilst in the other highly elastic material, it was found that as the piston descended, the extrusion pressure increased to an equilibrium value. The importance of this effect in obtaining consistent shear stress data is discussed. Results of the work have been expressed in terms of apparent viscosity and also in terms of the parameters which describe a power law relating shear stress and shear rate within the capillary die. Rheological data have been obtained at various temperatures within the range of processing temperatures of the compounds. The effects on rheological properties of mastication and relaxation time after mastication have been examined. Results have been compared with figures obtained on conventional laboratory viscometers such as the Mooney Plastometer and the Wallace Rapid Plastimeter. A biconical, rotational viscometer has also been used at the lower range of shear rates and the results are compared with those obtained from the extrusion viscometer.

Rheological properties of mixtures of hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC), a nonionic associative cellulose ether, and sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), an anionic surfactant, were investigated by viscosity measurements performed at different shear rates (0.1-6000 s-1). HPMC/SDS mixtures containing different concentrations of SDS (CSDS=0.00-3.50 % w/w) and HPMC concentrations which corresponded to the overlap parameter c/c*=3, 6, and 12 were prepared. All HPMC/SDS mixtures were found to be shear-thinning when examined in a low-end-to mid-range of the applied shear rates. The degree of shear-thinning, n, and viscosity of the mixtures were influenced by composition of HPMC/SDS mixtures and HPMC-SDS complex formation. The changes in n ranged from values typical for highly shear thinning to almost perfectly Newtonian liquids, and were more pronounced as c/c* was increased from 3 to 6 and 12. A change in flow profile and a buildup of the first normal stress difference (N1) was observed in HPMC/SDS mixtures with c/c*=6 and 12 and CSDS 0.55-1.00 % and 0.55-2.50 %, respectively, when a critical shear rate, crit. was exceeded, suggesting that a shear-induced structure formation in the mixtures took place.

Abstract This paper presents the selected rheological properties of pancake dough such as dynamic and kinematic viscosity and fluidity. The effect of used ingredients and temperature on rheological properties is investigated. Measurements were performed on three pancake dough samples. In two samples, there was used milk with a different fat content, and in the third sample, all ingredients were in a powder state. A digital rotational viscometer Anton Paar DV-3P was used for measuring the rheological properties. The principle of viscometer measurement is based on the dependence of sample resistance to probe rotation. Results of measurements are shown as graphical dependencies of rheological parameters on temperature. Exponential functions were used to express the dependencies of all rheological parameters on temperature. Dynamic and kinematic viscosity decreased, and fluidity increased with temperature. The highest values of dynamic viscosity were obtained for pancake dough from powder ingredients. A higher fat content of used milk caused higher values of dynamic viscosity.

The aim of the present research was to investigate the rheological properties of the medicinal syrup for oral administration with glucosamine hydrochloride and levocarnitine. Matherials and methods: Coefficient of the dynamic flow (at shear rates of 3,49 and 10,3 s -1, as well as at shear rates of 27.2 and 149.0 s-1), mechanical stability, the index of destruction and restoration were studied. The rheological (structural-mechanical) properties of the samples were determined using a Rheolab QC rotary viscometer (AntonPaar, Austria) with coaxial cylinders CC27 / S-SN29766. The rheological parameters were studied at the temperature 20±0,5 °С. Results: It is established that the syrup has weakly expressed plastic viscous and thixotropic properties (the hysteresis area for the syrupis 1710.19 Pas/s). Such results characterize the system as a reopex. Conclusions: The results of the study enables classification of the research object as system with a low degree of fluidity. Such dependence is typical for systems of the Newtonian type of flow and characterizes the syrup under investigation as a weakly structured disperse system.

Rheological properties of blend spinning solution of sodium alginate and TiO2 nanoparticles (SA/nano-TiO2) were investigated. The rheological parameters, structural viscosity index (Δη) and flow activation energy (Eη) of spinning solutions were calculated. The results reported that the blend spinning solutions were non-newtonian fluids. The apparent viscosity, consistency index (k) and Eη increased with increasing nano-TiO2 content in SA spinning solution, but the degradation degree of apparent viscosity decreased, flow behavior index (n) only slightly decreased and the Δη had no significantly change. The apparent viscosity (ηa) of spinning solutions could be regulated by changing temperature under 50oC. Blend spinning solution had good stability and practical applicability.

Abstract Viscosified acids are desired in several oilfield applications such as in acid diversion and acid fracturing operations. The study aimed to delineate the rheological properties of a novel amine type surfactant and viscosified acid-surfactant solutions. The steady shear and dynamic rheological properties were evaluated by varying the surfactant, acid, and salt concentration. Such a study is required to gauge the suitability of the viscosifying agent in acid stimulation jobs. The surfactant solutions without acid showed shear-thinning behavior, whereas those with acid showed a Newtonian plateau over a wide shear rate range before undergoing shear thinning. This means that over a wide shear rate range, the acid-surfactant solutions become independent of applied shear. At low shear rates, the viscosity of the surfactant was higher compared with the surfactant-acid solution. However, at high shear rates, the viscosity of the surfactant was lower compared with the viscosity of the surfactant-acid solution. There was an optimal salt concentration that improved the viscosity and elasticity of the acid-surfactant solutions. Thus, the rheology of the surfactant solution can be improved by adding both acid and salt. The elastic properties of acid-surfactant solutions were also better compared with the elastic properties of pure surfactant. The addition of acid improved the elastic properties of the surfactant solutions. Constant viscosity over a range of shear rate is a suitable application for acid fracturing operations in which the acid leak-off will be minimal due to the high viscosity. Also, brines in most of the carbonate formation consist of high loading of calcium chloride which was found to have a positive effect on the viscosity. Increasing the calcium chloride leads to an increase in viscosity, and then subsequently decreases the viscosity. This shows that the acid and salt concentration plays a role in modifying the rheological properties of the surfactant solutions.

Rheological properties are an important parameter for the quality of mayonnaise. This article in-vestigated the effect of adding olive oil on the rheological properties and color change of mayon-naise. The influence of the storage time of mayonnaise in the refrigerator on the change in rheo-logical properties was also investigated. Mayonnaise was prepared on a laboratory rotary disperser of the Turrex type with a rotor / stator system with a rotor speed range (10000-30000 rpm) at room temperature. Mayonnaise contains 75% oil with varying proportions of sunflower oil and ol-ive oil. Rheological measurements were carried out on a Brookfield rotary viscometer with con-centric cylinders at temperatures of 10 ° C and 25 ° C. Based on the data obtained, the consistency coefficient of the rheological parameters, the flow index and the apparent viscosity were calculat-ed. The color of the test samples of mayonnaise was measured using a three-color colorimeter. All mayonnaise samples exhibit non-Newtonian pseudoplastic flow with a defined thixotropic loop area. Research results have shown that the addition of olive oil affects the rheological properties and color of mayonnaise. The addition of olive oil to the oil phase of mayonnaise reduces shear stress, apparent viscosity, consistency factor and color change at 25 ° C and 10 ° C. When storing mayonnaise in the refrigerator for 15 days, the rheological parameters change. Sunflower oil may-onnaise (75%) has the highest value (L), which means it is measured instrumentally as the bright-est.

Calculation Results

Abstract Interest in cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) recently has been growing significantly. Many applications have been developed for CNC and appropriate procedures to handle the CNC suspensions are critical for these applications. In this study, we explored a method evaluating CNC suspensions based on rheological property characterization. We used a rotational viscometer to characterize CNC suspensions at concentrations of 3, 4, 5, and 6 wt.%. We collected primary readings from the rotational viscometer, including spindle rotation speed and torque, to generate apparent viscosity and shear rate for CNC suspensions. We applied three different methods summarized from the literature to calculate apparent viscosity and real shear rate. We critically analyzed differences among calculation results from the three methods. Shearing thinning behaviors obeyed the power law flow model for all CNC suspensions in the shear rate tested. At different concentrations, consistency and flow behavior indices in the model differed in the measured shear rate range. With the same shear rate, higher concentration CNC suspension had a higher apparent viscosity. The apparent viscosity of the CNC suspension was associated with its weight concentration in a power law relationship. This study indicated that a rotational viscometer can be used as a quality control tool for characterizing the rheological properties of the CNC suspensions. We made recommendations for using appropriate calculation methods to obtain shear rate and apparent viscosity of CNC suspensions from the primary readings of a rotational viscometer under different situations.

A method to evaluate the rheological properties of low density polyethylene (LDPE) using torque rheometer was developed and the parameter of Power rate model were obtained by fitting balance torque and balance temperature. The rheological parameters of polymer melts were evaluated on the basis of previous equation by introducing the apparent filling degree in torque rheometer, the results show the temperature compensated torque (Mtc) increase from 5.685 Nm to 6.972 Nm, while apparent filling degree change from 0.65 to 0.85 at the rotor speed of 29.98 rpm. TheMtcalso increase from 2,900 Nm to 3.528 Nm and increase by 0.628 Nm at the rotor speed of 4.985 rpm, while it increase by 1.287 Nm from 5.685 Nm to 6.972 Nm at the rotor speed of 29.99 rpm, which means the higher the rotor speed, the more influence on the torque. The other relative rheological parameters, such as the activation energy (ΔE), the Non-Newton (n), etc., calculated in this model, indicate the effect of apparent filling degree on the polymer melting rheology. The calculated values were compared with those derived from capillary rheolometer, the results show the apparent viscosity decrease with the increase shear rate in exponential function, the change rules of apparent viscosity are good agreement from two kinds test methods.

The effect of plasticizers and content on rheological behaviour of Caesalpinia pulcherrima gum aqueous solutions and on mechanical properties on gum films was investigated. Three plasticizers as glycerol and sorbitol and propylene glycol at different ratios were used. The results presented that plasticizer adding reduced the apparent viscosity of mixture solution, caused by polymer interaction weakening. However, they exhibited shear-thinning behaviour and typical shape for macromolecular solutions in viscoelastic property.
