to describe the flow of liquids and the deformation of solids
Rheology
is the study of the flow of the materials that behave in an interesting or unusual manner.
Rheology
is an expression of the resistance of a fluid to flow
Viscosity
involved in the mixing and flow of materials, their packaging into containers, and their removal prior to use, whether this is achieved by pouring from a bottle, extrusion from a tube, or passage
through a syringe needle.
Rheology
can influence the selection of processing equipment used in its manufacture
Rheologic properties
recognized the importance of rheology in pharmacy and
suggested its application in the formulation
Scott-Blair
Scott-Blair analysis of the following pharmaceutical products:
- emulsions
- pastes
- suppositories
- tablet coatings
Example of complex fluids
Foods
Biofluids
Personal care products
Electronic and optical materials
Pharmaceuticals
change of the shape and the size of a body due to
applied forces (external forces and internal forces)
Deformation
irreversible deformation (matter is not reverted to the original state when the force is removed)
Flow
reversible deformation (matter is reverted to the original form after stress is removed)
Elasticity
deformation in term of relative displacement of the particles
composing the body
Strain
measure of internal forces acting within a (deformable) body
Stress
deformation of a body in one direction only and having a given
perpendicular gradient
Shear
Classification of Materials According to Types of Flow and Deformation
- Newtonian Systems
- Non-Newtonian Systems
was the first to study flow properties of liquids in a quantitative way.
Newton
He recognized that the higher the viscosity of a liquid, the greater is the force per unit area (shearing stress) required to produce a certain rate of shear.
Newton’s Law of Flow
Ex. water, ethanol, acetone, glycerine, benzene
Newtonian flow
Has linear relationship between shear rate and shear stress
Newtonian flow
Constant viscosity with increasing rate of shear
Newtonian flow
is the force per unit area required to required to
bring about flow.
Shearing stress
Formula for shearing stress
F = F’ / A
the difference of velocity
(dv) between two planes of liquid separated by an infinitesimal distance
(dr).
Rate of Shear (G) or Velocity Gradient
Formula of Rate of Shear (G) or Velocity Gradient
G = dv/dr
