White-metzner Models for Rod Climbing in A1
نویسندگان
چکیده
Measurements of rod climbing in A1 give rise to an apparent linear relation between the height rise h and the angular velocity Ω of the rod. We use a White-Metzner model to fit the data and we find that the height rise on the rod deviates from the quadratic dependence on the angular velocity when the viscosity or relaxation time vary with shear rate. When both the relaxation time and the viscosity change simultaneously with the shear rate, the climbing profile on the rod deviates more from the standard theory for rod climbing. A simplified argument based on upper-convected Maxwell model and using power-laws for the viscosity and the relaxation time gives rise to h(Ω) ∝ Ω n+m , where n and m are power-law indices which can be chosen to fit the data. The height rise data for A1, which is linear rather than quadratic in the shear rate at low shears, can be fit to a White-Metzner model using measured values for the viscosity function and a long time of relaxation which decreases strongly with the rate of shear. This result suggests that a shear decreasing relaxation time function may be useful for describing the rheology fluids with small quadratic range.

Rod-climbing effect in Newtonian fluids.
When a rotating rod is brought into a polymer melt or concentrated polymer solution, the meniscus climbs the rod. This spectacular rod climbing is due to the normal stresses present in the polymer fluid and is thus a purely non-Newtonian effect. A similar rod climbing of an interface between two fluids has therefore been taken as a signature that one of the fluids exhibits normal stress effects...
متن کاملOscillating Fluid on a Spinning Rod
Weissenberg observed that when a rod is rotated in a complex fluid, the fluid will climb the rod. When revolutions per time are sufficiently large, climbing ceases and oscillations on the fluid surface begin. Previous studies of this phenomena focus on the regime prior to oscillation; however, this study focuses on understanding these oscillations. By performing a harmonic analysis, wave featur...
متن کاملNormal-stress coefficients and rod climbing in colloidal dispersions.
We calculate tractable microscopic expressions for the low-shear normal-stress coefficients of colloidal dispersions. Although restricted to the low rate regime, the presented formulas are valid for all volume fractions below the glass transition and for any interaction potential. Numerical results are presented for a system of colloids interacting via a hard-core attractive Yukawa potential, f...

Mikania scandens (L.) Willd. (Asteraceae), known as climbing hemp weed in English is a herbaceous climbing vine grown as a weed throughout the plains of the Indian subcontinent. The present study evaluated some neuropharmacological activities of hydroalcoholic extract of root from M. scandens (RMS) in experimental animal models. RMS (at 200 and 400 mg/kg body weight, i.p.) was evaluated for ant...
