چکیده

The liquid filament microrheometer originally described by Bazilevsky et al. (1990) provides a simple way of extracting material parameters for Newtonian and viscoelastic fluids from measurements of the capillary breakup of a thin fluid thread. However, there is an unresolved discrepancy in the value of the Newtonian viscosity obtained from the experimental data when using the existing theoretical analysis. We demonstrate how to correctly analyze measurements of the midpoint radius and present a simple formula that enables one to obtain quantitative values for the Newtonian viscosity for a range of viscous fluids. The validity of this correction is supported by numerical simulations and experiments with a number of viscous Newtonian fluids. In addition we analyze the role of gravitational body forces on modifying the dynamics of capillary thinning of a Newtonian liquid filament. Finally, we show how such capillary breakup devices may be used to make quantitative time-resolved measurements of changes in the viscosity of hygroscopic materials or fluids with a volatile solvent component that are exposed to an ambient atmosphere.

Polymeric filament thinning and breakup in microchannels.

The effects of elasticity on filament thinning and breakup are investigated in microchannel cross flow. When a viscous solution is stretched by an external immiscible fluid, a low 100 ppm polymer concentration strongly affects the breakup process, compared to the Newtonian case. Qualitatively, polymeric filaments show much slower evolution, and their morphology features multiple connected drops...

Is there a Relationship between the Elongational Viscosity and the First Normal Stress Difference in Polymer Solutions?

We investigate a variety of different polymer solutions in shear and elongational flow. The shear flow is created in the cone-plate-geometry of a commercial rheometer. We use capillary thinning of a filament that is formed by a polymer solution in the Capillary Breakup Extensional Rheometer (CaBER) as an elongational flow. We compare the relaxation time and the elongational viscosity measured i...

Capillary breakup extensional rheometry of a wormlike micellar solution

The behaviour of a cetylpyridinium chloride/sodium salicylate wormlike micellar system undergoing capillary breakup is investigated experimentally. The transient elongational flow induced in a thinning thread is used to study the apparent viscosity and effective relaxation time of the micellar network in extension. The sensitivity of the material response to initial conditions and deformation h...
