Capillary breakup rheometry is an experimental technique used to assess the extensional rheological response of low viscous fluids. Unlike most shear and extensional rheometers, this technique does not involve active stretch or measurement of stress or strain but exploits only surface tension to create a uniaxial extensional flow.
Capillary rheometers are especially advantageous for characterization of therapeutic protein solutions since it determines the ability to be syringed. [6] Additionally, there is an inverse relationship between the rheometry and solution stability, as well as thermodynamic interactions. Rotational geometries of different types of shearing rheometers
Measuring principle: The slit viscometer/rheometer is based on the fundamental principle that a viscous liquid resists flow, exhibiting a decreasing pressure along the length of the slit. The pressure decrease or drop ( ∆ P ) is correlated with the shear stress at the wall boundary.
Rheology (/ r iː ˈ ɒ l ə dʒ i /; from Greek ῥέω (rhéō) 'flow' and -λoγία (-logia) 'study of') is the study of the flow of matter, primarily in a fluid (liquid or gas) state but also as "soft solids" or solids under conditions in which they respond with plastic flow rather than deforming elastically in response to an applied force.
The Starling principle holds that fluid movement across a semi-permeable blood vessel such as a capillary or small venule is determined by the hydrostatic pressure and colloid osmotic pressure (oncotic pressure) on either side of a semipermeable barrier that sieves the filtrate, keeping larger molecules such as proteins within the blood stream.
Much like the Meissner-type rheometer, the SER rheometer uses a set of two rollers to strain a sample at a given rate. [31] It then calculates the sample viscosity using the well known equation: σ = η ϵ ˙ {\displaystyle \sigma =\eta {\dot {\epsilon }}} where σ {\displaystyle \sigma } is the stress, η {\displaystyle \eta } is the viscosity ...
Jurin's law, or capillary rise, is the simplest analysis of capillary action—the induced motion of liquids in small channels [1] —and states that the maximum height of a liquid in a capillary tube is inversely proportional to the tube's diameter.
Three examples of droplet detachment for different fluids: (left) water, (center) glycerol, (right) a solution of PEG in water. In fluid dynamics, the Plateau–Rayleigh instability, often just called the Rayleigh instability, explains why and how a falling stream of fluid breaks up into smaller packets with the same total volume but less surface area per droplet.
