Perry's Handbook Viscosity

Coefficients for a equation form developed by the PPDS, publishedopenly in [3]. Provides no temperature limits, but has been designedfor extrapolation. Extrapolated to low temperatures it provides asmooth exponential increase. However, for some chemicals such asglycerol, extrapolated to higher temperatures viscosity is predictedto increase above a certain point.

A minimum viscosity value of 1e-5 Pa*s is set according to [4].This is also just above the lowest experimental values of viscosity of helium, 9.4e-6 Pa*s. This excludes the behavior of superfluids,and also systems where the mean free path between moleules approachesthe geometry of the system and then the viscosity is geometry-dependent.

Class for dealing with the viscosity of a liquid mixture as afunction of temperature, pressure, and composition.Consists of one electrolyte-specific method, and logarithmic rules basedon either mole fractions of mass fractions.

Class for dealing with the viscosity of a gas mixture as afunction of temperature, pressure, and composition.Consists of three gas viscosity specific mixing rules and a mole-weightedsimple mixing rule.

Figure 1 is a well-known graph for calculating gas viscosity as a function of temperature at low pressure [1]. It is a typical example of a line coordinate chart [2]. Each gas has a different pivot-point, with the coordinates as listed in Table 1. A straight line drawn through the pivot-point and a temperature will yield the viscosity at that temperature.

We will find it relatively easy to determine a functional relationship between the gas viscosity and temperature that will fit the form of Equation (1) by using the coordinates of the pivot-point as input data. In other words, by doing reverse engineering we will uncover empirical, functional relationships for [[mu].sub.0], [T.sub.0] and n as functions of the pivot-point coordinates (x and y). The method we use reads values from the nomograph, and then uses regression-analysis software to determine the functional relationships.

Calculates either kinematic or dynamic viscosity, depending on inputs.Used when one type of viscosity is known as well as density, to obtainthe other type. Raises an error if both types of viscosity or neither typeof viscosity is provided.

First, we will approximate the bulk properties of our fluid by assuming that throughoutthe reactor, our fluid is half A and half C. From WWW, we foundmC=1.785*10-5 kg /(m*s)(1 cP=0.1 Pa*s or kg/(m*s)), and from Perry's (Table 3-311), we found theviscosity of acetone. For the sake of these calculations we will assume that theviscosities of acetone and formaldehyde (A) are similar,mA=0.75*10-5 kg/(m*s).

The science of rheology, concerning the deformation of the ground, has three basic aspects: viscosity, elasticity, and plasticity. Viscosity is discussed here. Elasticity and plasticity are considered in Mechanical Properties.

In transport phenomena, precise knowledge or estimation of fluids properties is necessary, for mass flow and heat transfer computations. Viscosity is one of the important properties which are affected by pressure and temperature. In the present work, based on statistical techniques for nonlinear regression analysis and correlation tests, we propose a novel equation modeling the relationship between the two parameters of viscosity Arrhenius-type equation, such as the energy () and the preexponential factor (). Then, we introduce a third parameter, the Arrhenius temperature (), to enrich the model and the discussion. Empirical validations using 75 data sets of viscosity of pure solvents studied at different temperature ranges are provided from previous works in the literature and give excellent statistical correlations, thus allowing us to rewrite the Arrhenius equation using a single parameter instead of two. In addition, the suggested model is very beneficial for engineering data since it would permit estimating the missing parameter value, if a well-established estimate of the other parameter is readily available.

Available data of transport properties of liquids are essential for mass and heat flow. As it is one of the important properties of fluids, liquid viscosity needs to be measured or estimated given that it influences the cases of design, handling, operation of mixing, transport, injection, combustion efficiency, pumping, pipeline, atomization and transportation, and so forth. The characteristics of liquid flow depend on viscosity which is affected principally by temperature and pressure.

In addition, for the linear Arrhenius behavior, it is found that the temperature dependence of dynamic viscosity can be fitted frequently with the Arrhenius-type equation for numerous Newtonian classic solvents, which can be rewritten in the logarithmic form:where , , and are the gas constant, the Arrhenius activation energy, and the preexponential (entropic) factor of the Arrhenius equation for the liquid system, respectively.

Oils and fats are typically fairly viscous with a viscosity higher than 30 mPa at fractionation temperatures and potentially >100 mPa. A typical solvent, such as acetone, has a viscosity of typically 0.3 mPa. Adding solvent to edible oil for fractionation dramatically lowers the viscosity and as a result speeds up molecular diffusion to give much quicker crystallisation (see Perry [1]). What might take 10 hours or more in dry fractionation can happen in less than 30 minutes! This means that the crystalliser volume required for a given plant capacity can be much smaller and also makes continuous crystallisation a practical solution. Figure 2 shows a typically used continuous crystalliser for solvent fractionation. They are usually of a wiped or scraped surface type for good heat transfer.

As stated above, the addition of solvent dramatically reduces the viscosity of the oil. As filtration rate is proportional to the inverse of viscosity in the basic case (see Perry [2]), it is clear that a crystal slurry in solvent fractionation will filter more easily. This enables the use of continuous filters. Originally rotary drum filters were used but these have been superseded by various forms of flat band vacuum filters. The use of a solvent means the filter has to be enclosed. Filters available on the market today are usually of an indexing type rather than a continuous moving belt. There are two forms of indexing, one indexes the filter belt and filter cake forward after a period of filtration above a stationary filtration deck, the other is where the filtration deck moves forward with the belt during filtration and then the filtration deck indexes back to restart the moving filtration step. Figure 3 shows a typical indexing flat band filter.

To assess the repeatability of the tests, the samples were submitted to three runs (1, 2, 3), under the same conditions (temperature and shear range). Figures 1, 2 and 3 show the stress behavior (σ) in function of shear rate (ẏ) at the three temperatures, as well as the evolution of viscosity (η) in relation to shear rate.

Analysis of the curves (b) of Figures 1-3 shows that regardless of the temperature, the samples behaved as Newtonian fluids at low shear rates. The viscosity of the natural latex rubber samples declined with increasing shear rate because of the pseudoplastic behavior.

Figures 4, 5 and 6, showing the flow curves of the samples with concentration of NH4OH higher than 0.6% (w/w), indicate similar behavior: a decrease in viscosity with rising shear rate, defined limit of the Newtonian fluid region and repeatability of the results.

An increase of 15 C in the testing temperature promoted reductions in viscosity of 36% and 32% for samples CNC and CLC, respectively, near the reduction attained by the application of mechanical force.

The correlation coefficients of the curves plotted according to the Ostwald-de Waele model for the latex samples with low preservative concentration, at all three temperatures analyzed, are very near 1 (0.999), showing that the power law is able to adequately represent the experimental data. The coefficients of m, greater than 0.7, reinforce the non-Newtonian behavior of the samples analyzed[88 Barnes, H. (2000). A handbook of elementary rheology.
