VISCOSITY STUDIES ON DISTILLED WATER AND WEAK SOLS OF POLYETHYLENOXIDE USING THE FALLING CYLINDER VISCOMETER AT OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY.
Abstract
An experimental investigation was undertaken on the viscosity of weak sols of polyethylenoxide of molecular weight 4,000,000 in distilled water. At 0.01% concentration the viscosity is about 5% higher than for distilled water. Thus, remarkable reduction of turbulent energy losses observed for concentrations of 0.002 - 0.006% does occur without noticeable viscosity changes. The investigation revealed that the standard theory for the falling cylinder viscometer appears to be in error. (Author)
