    Shear thickening

    Another name for dilatant flow, describing the property of a fluid to become thicker (higher viscosity) when subjected to shear stress.

    Signup and view all the flashcards

    Why does dilatant flow occur?

    Dilatant flow occurs because at high shear stress, particles in the fluid pack more tightly, creating larger gaps between them. The fluid then needs more force to flow because there's less lubrication between the particles.

    Example of dilatant flow

    Cornstarch mixed with water (oobleck) is a common example of a dilatant fluid. It acts like a solid when you hit it, but flows like a liquid when you pour it.

    What happens to interparticle volume in dilatant flow?

    As shear stress increases, the interparticle volume (the space between particles) expands. This is because the particles try to move past each other quickly, leading to a less efficient packing.

    Study Notes

    Rheology (Pharmaceutics-I)

    • Rheology is derived from the Greek words "rheo" (to flow) and "logos" (science)
    • It's the study of flow of fluids under applied stress (deformation forces)
    • Some materials flow in familiar normal ways, while others have complex and unusual flows (honey, mayonnaise, peanut butter)
    • All materials range on a scale from solid to liquid
    • Liquids are viscous; solids are elastic
    • Most materials are viscoelastic
    •  Elasticity is the tendency of solid materials to return to their original shape after forces are applied (it will return to its initial shape and size)
    • Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. (Fluids with higher viscosity resist motion; Fluids with low viscosity flow easily)
    • Viscoelasticity is the property of materials that exhibit both viscous and elastic characteristics when undergoing deformation
    • Viscometry studies ideally viscous fluids, and with limitations, viscoelastic liquids

    Rheological Systems

    •  Newtonian systems: Fluids whose viscosity is constant regardless of the shear rate
    • Examples: water, oil, salad oil. The shear stress is directly proportional to the shear rate
    • Non-Newtonian systems: Fluids whose viscosity changes with the shear rate
      • Plastic systems: Requires a yield value before flow begins, examples include toothpaste
      • Pseudoplastic systems (shear thinning): Viscosity decreases with increasing shear rates, examples include ketchup, paint, blood, nail polish
      • Dilatant systems (shear thickening): Viscosity increases with increasing shear rates, examples include oobleck (a mixture of cornstarch and water), quick sand.

    Rheogram

    • A plot of shear rate (G) versus shear stress (F)
    • It displays the rheological behavior of a material
    • Newtonian systems yield a straight-line rheogram

    Thixotropy

    • A time-dependent process
    • Viscosity decreases with time under constant shear (a break down of structure) and recovers when the stress is removed
    • It is applied only to shear-thinning systems

    Rheopexy

    • A time-dependent process where viscosity increases with time under constant shear
    • The system exists in a gel state at equilibrium, unlike antithixotropic substances that exist in a sol form. Magnesia magma and clay suspensions may exhibit negative rheopexy, similar to negative thixotropy

    Measurement of Thixotropy

    • Two approaches are used for plastic (Bingham) systems
      • Structural breakdown is measured at a constant rate of shear (time is varied)
      • Structural breakdown is measured due to increasing shear rate (shear rate is varied)

    Types of Viscometers

    • Single-point viscometers:
      • Capillary viscometer: Measures the time it takes for liquid to flow through a capillary tube. Useful for low-viscosity liquids
      • Falling sphere viscometer: Measures the rate at which a sphere falls through a liquid. Useful for a range of viscosities
    • Multi-point viscometers:
      • Cup and bob viscometer: Measures the torque required to rotate a bob in a cup filled with the sample
      • Cone and plate viscometer: Measures the torque required to rotate a cone over a plate filled with the sample

    Viscosity

    • Viscosity is a measure of fluid's resistance to flow
    • Viscosity is affected by many components including temperature, molecular weight, molar volume, activation energy etc
    • Viscosity is the reciprocal of fluidity

    Other

    • Temperature dependence: A fluid's viscosity is highly influenced by temperature
    • Applications: Rheology plays a critical role in quality control, manufacturing, and many everyday applications like mixing, drug delivery and even oil drilling.
    • Interesting Fact: The Pitch Drop Experiment, which has been running since 1927
