Abstract The rheological behavior of model suspensions with the silicone oil M20000 and different concentrations of Cab-o-sil TS 720 resp. Durcal 5 are compared. The increase of the Cab-o-sil concentration changes the flow behavior of the suspension from shear-thinning, to pseudoplastic, and to plastic flow behavior. The first normal stress difference rises at the same time at certain shear rate. The disperse systems with Durcal 5 keep the structural viscous behavior of the silicone oil even with a filler concentration of 40.5 wt%. The dependence of the first normal stress difference on shear rate represents for suspensions with Durcal 5 only one straight line with a slope of n = 2. The normal stress has double the amount of the silicone oil M20000 at given shear rate and is independent of the used Durcal 5 concentration. It was established that suspensions with the silicone oil M20000 have a first normal stress difference that can, depending on the filler type, either increase (with Cab-o-sil TS 720) or decrease (with Durcal 5) at certain shear stress with increasing filler concentration. It is to be supposed that the decrease of the normal stress at a given shear stress, with increasing Durcal concentration, is a softening effect, caused by the filler.

The Wiesenberger number is a common dimensionless quantity to reflect the elastic effect of fluids. It’s usually applied in mechanical calculation of viscoelastic fluid and calculated by the first normal stress difference. So the first normal stress difference and Wiesenberger number are applied to describe the viscoelasticity of polymer solutions. Though many literature reviews on the viscoelasticity of polymer solutions have been reported, only a few studied the Wiesenberger number and the first normal stress difference of viscoelastic fluid. Since the corresponding relation between Wiesenberger number and mass concentration and salinity of polymer solution is not clear, HAAKE RS150 rheometer was used during all steady and dynamic shear experiments, effects of mass concentration and salinity on the visco-elasticity of polymer solution in low shear rate were discussed, first normal-stress difference and Wiesenberger number were calculated. Results show that: with the increase of mass concentration of polymer solution and the decrease of salinity, both first normal-stress difference and Wiesenberger number increase, the visco-elasticity of polymer solution increases; At the same shear rate, the higher the salinity is, the smaller the first normal stress difference is, the smaller the Wiesenberger number is and the less obvious the viscoelasticity is. The Wiesenberger number of ordinary polymer solution used in the oilfield is about 1 when the shear rate is 10s-1and salinity is 508mg/L.

During the manufacture of plastic micro-pipe, a certain volume of gas should be properly injected into the inner cavity to overcome the collapse and adhesion problems. In this work, the extrusion forming of plastic micro-tube under the role of inner cavity’s gas were numerically studied. At the same time, the effect of inner cavity’s gas flow rate on the extrusion deformation of plastic micro-pipe was also numerically investigated by using the finite element method. A kind of 2D two-phase fluid geometric model and finite element mesh were established and some reasonable boundary conditions and material parameters were imposed. Under a fixed volume flow rate of melt, different flow rates of inner cavity gas were imposed on the inlet of inner cavity’s gas. The extrusion deformation profile and deformation ratio of plastic micro-pipe under different flow rates of gas were all obtained. To ascertain the mechanisms of effect of inner cavity’s gas flow rate on the extrusion deformation of plastic micro-tube, the flow velocities, pressure, shear rate, normal stress, and the first normal stress difference of melt all obtained and analyzed. Numerical results show that with the increase of inner cavity’s gas flow rate, the radial velocity, axial velocity, pressure, shear rate, normal stress, and the first normal stress difference of melt all increase, which makes the extrusion deformation become more and more serious. In practice, reasonable controlling of the inner cavity’s gas flow rate is very important. In the other hand, it can adjust the size of extruded plastic micro-pipe.

We report the normal stresses in a non-Brownian suspension in plane Couette flow determined from Stokesian Dynamics simulations. The presence of normal stresses that are linear in the shear rate in a viscometric flow indicates a non-Newtonian character of the suspension, which is otherwise Newtonian. While in itself of interest, this phenomenon is also important because it is believed that normal stresses determine the migration of particles in flows with inhomogeneous shear fields. We simulate plane Couette flow by placing a layer of clear fluid adjacent to one wall in the master cell, which is then replicated periodically. From a combination of the traceless hydrodynamic stresslet on the suspended particles, the stresslet due to (non-hydrodynamic) inter-particle forces, and the total normal force on the walls, we determine the hydrodynamic and inter-particle force contributions to the isotropic ‘particle pressure’ and the first normal stress difference. We determine the stresses for a range of the particle concentration and the Couette gap. The particle pressure and the first normal stress difference exhibit a monotonic increase with the mean particle volume fraction ϕ. The ratio of normal to shear stresses on the walls also increases with ϕ, substantiating the result of Nott & Brady (1994) that this condition is required for stability to concentration fluctuations. We also study the microstructure by extracting the pair distribution function from our simulations; our results are in agreement with previous studies showing anisotropy in the pair distribution, which is the cause of normal stresses.

The shear flow rheological properties of sugar solutions (70% w/w concentration) modified by different cellulose derivatives have been measured. Thickeners  were expected to cause the viscoelastic behaviour of the resulting sol ution. Therefore, the elastic rheological parameters were measured by oscillatory shear technique (phase angle, elastic modulus) and also the first normal stress difference N<sub>1</sub>. The increase of thickener concen tration caused a moderate increase of non-Newtonian behaviour in the shear flow. The sensory viscosity (ra nged between 0 and 100%) was evaluated by five different methods - as an effort for stirring with teaspoon, time for flowing down the spoon, slurping from spoon, compression between tongue and palate and swallowing. The influence of shear viscosity and first normal difference on sensory viscosity was tested. Correlation procedu re between change of sensory viscosity .tlSE and change of shear viscosity .tlJ.Iz showed that only for swallowing there is a statistically evident de­pendence. The correlation between change of sensory viscosity t.SE and first normal stress difference N<sub>1</sub> is not statistically   evident. For all the methods of sensory evaluation the dependence between these parameters is only weak and indirect (with increasing normal stress difference the sensory viscosity is decreasing).
