QUESTION: 1

The relation between shear stress Z and velocity gradient   of a fluid is given by ​ where A and n are constants. If n = 1, what type of fluid will it be?

Solution:

Explanation: When n = 1, the relation reduces to Newton’s law of viscosity: z = A * , where A will represent the viscosity of the fluid. The fluid following this relation will be a Newtonian fluid.

QUESTION: 2

The relation between shear stress Z and velocity gradient   of a fluid is given by ​  where A and n are constants. What type of fluid will it be if n < 1 and n > 1 respectively?

Solution:

Explanation: When n ≠ 1, the relation will be treated as Power law for Non-Newtonian fluids:
. For n < 1, the rate of change of the shear stress decreases with the increase in the value of velocity gradient. Such fluids are called Pseudoplastics.

For n > 1, the rate of change of the shear stress increases with the increase in the value of velocity gradient. Such fluids are called Dilatants.

QUESTION: 3

In the above graph, what types of fluids are represented by the lines 2 and 3 respectively ?

Solution:
QUESTION: 4

The relation between shear stress Z and velocity gradient   of a fluid is given by ​  + B where A, n and B are constants. Which of the following conditions will hold for a Bingham plastic?
Solution:

Explanation: For Bingham Plastics, shear stress will not remain constant after an yield value of stress. Thus, A ≠ 0;B ≠ 0. After the yield value, the relation between the shear stress and velocity gradient will become linear. hus, n = 1.

QUESTION: 5

The relation between shear stress Z and velocity gradient   of a fluid is given by ​  + B where A, n and B are constants. Which of the following conditions will hold for a Rheopectic?
Solution:

Explanation: For Rheopectics, shear stress will not remain constant after an yield value of stress. Thus, A ≠ 0; B ≠ 0. After the yield value, the rate of change of the shear stress increases with the increase in the value of velocity gradient. Thus, n > 1.

QUESTION: 6

The above graph of viscosity vs time depicts which of the following fluids?

(Hint : This fluid is present in inks and paints)
Solution:

Explanation: For Thixotropics,their viscosity is time dependent and decreases as time goes on.

QUESTION: 7

The relation between shear stress Z and velocity gradient   of a fluid is given by ​ where A and n are constants. The graphs are drawn for three values of n. Which one will be the correct relationship between n1, n2 and n3?
Solution:

Explanation: The graph corresponding to n = n1 represents Pseudoplastics, for which the rate of change of the shear stress decreases with the increase in the value of velocity gradient. The graph corresponding to n = n2 represents Newtonian fluids, for which shear stress changes linearly with the change in velocity gradient. The graph corresponding to n = n3 represents Dilatents, for which the rate of change of the shear stress increases with the increase in the value of velocity gradient.

QUESTION: 8

Which of the following is a shear-thinnning fluid?
Solution:

Explanation: Shear-thinning fluids are those which gets strained easily at high values of shear stresses. The relation between shear stress Z and velocity gradient   of a shear-thinning fluid is given by , where A and n are constants and n < 1. This relation is followed by Pseudoplastics.

QUESTION: 9

Which of the following is a shear-thickening fluid?
Solution:

Explanation: Shear-thickening fluids are those for which it gets harger to strain it at high values of shear stresses. The relation between shear stress Z and velocity gradient  of a shear-thickening fluid is given by   where A and n are constants and n > 1. This relation is followed by Dilatants.

QUESTION: 10

What will be the dimension of the flow consistency index for a fluid with a flow behaviour index of -1? 
Solution:

Explanation: The relation between shear stress Z and velocity gradient  of a fluid is given by   where A is the flow consistency index and n is the flow behaviour index. If n = -1, A = Z * Unit of Z is N/m2 and  is s-1. Thus, the unit of A will be N/m2 s.
