Determination of Rheological Parameters from Measurements on a Viscometer with Coaxial Cylinders - Choice of the Reference Radius

摘要

Knowledge about rheological behavior is necessary in engineering calculations for equipment used for processing concentrated suspensions and polymers. Power-law and Bingham models are often used for evaluating the experimental data. This paper proposes the reference radius to which experimental results obtained by measurements on a rotational viscometer with coaxial cylinders should be related.
