Commercial applications of magnetorheological (MR) fluids often require operation at elevated temperatures as a result of surrounding environmental conditions or intense localized viscous heating. Previous experimental investigations of thermal effects on MR fluids have reported significant reductions in the magnetorheological stress with increasing temperature, exceeding the predictions made by considering the thermal variations in the individual physical properties of the fluid and solid constituents of a typical MR fluid. In the low-flux regime, designers of MR fluid actuators can alleviate this thermal reduction in stress by increasing the applied magnetic field strength. However, this is not possible in the high-flux regime because of magnetic saturation, and it becomes necessary to explore and understand the intrinsic limitations of the fluid at elevated temperature. We describe a new magnetorheological fixture, which was designed as an accessory to a commercial torsional shear rheometer, capable of applying magnetic flux densities up to 1 T and controlling the sample temperature up to 150°C. During the design of the instrument, close attention was given to the uniformity of the magnetic field applied to the sample by using numerical simulations. Incorporation of a custom-built magnetic flux sensor which matches the environmental capabilities of the fixture enables in situ measurement of the local magnetic field at each temperature. The numerical results are also validated by spatially resolved measurements of the local magnetic field. Finally, we explore the ability of a shift factor between fluid magnetization and yield strength to describe the measured variation in the MR fluid response at elevated temperatures. 相似文献

This work proposes a new numerical method for determining the shear stress, which does not need any preassumption about the
exact behavior of the fluid to achieve absolute data using a parallel-plate measuring system. The ability for representing
different behaviors along the entire shear-rate range makes this method particularly interesting for the study of magnetorheological
(MR) fluids. In this work, the conversion factors used by the rheometer for concentric-cylinder, cone-plate, and parallel-plate
measuring systems are first analyzed. This analysis shows that the software used by the rheometer is not appropriate for the
quantitative characterization of non-Newtonian fluids using the parallel-plate measuring system. Therefore, a new method for
conversion of the parameters measured by the rheometer to the rheological parameters of the fluid is proposed; simultaneously,
this new method is compared with other correction methods proposed in the literature: the Rabinowitsch-type method and the
single-point method. Finally, the proposed method is applied for the quantitative characterization of an MR fluid. 相似文献

The tunable rheological properties of magnetorheological (MR) materials at high shear rates are studied using a piston-driven flow-mode-type rheometer. The proposed method provides measurement of the apparent viscosity and yield stress of MR fluids for a shear rate range of 50 to 40,000 s−1. The rheological properties of a commercial MR fluid, as well as a newly developed MR polymeric gel, and a ferrofluid-based MR fluid are investigated. The results for apparent viscosity and dynamic and static shear stresses under different applied magnetic fields are reported. 相似文献

Test fixtures of a commercial concentric cylinder rheometer (Physica Rheolab MC 20) were modified to enable measurements under magnetic inductions up to 0.5 Tesla in a shear rate range of 0.1 up to 1000 s –1 and temperatures 0° to 150°C. In the 2 x90°-cups only two 90° sectors of the stationary part of the double concentric cylinder arrangement are submitted to the magnetic field which is created outside the test tools by an electromagnet. A prototype of a 360°-cup contains the electromagnet within the cup and avoids the correction necessary for the sector geometry. Measurements are shown for a carbonyl iron MR fluid and two nano MR fluids. An encouraging comparison of the viscosity function and MR effect (shear stress changes due to the field) measured by using the various cups is presented. The detailed investigation of the magnetic field distribution in the tools yields a distinct radial field gradient and also stray fields that make the quantification of the effective field in the gap difficult. The change of the field when the gap is filled with MR fluid is addressed. MR effects up to 13 000 Pa have been found, the limited torque range of the rheometer making it necessary to use relatively small gap dimensions which introduce errors due to edge effects. Shear rates up to 40000 s–1 as typical for the application in dampers were investigated by a piston-driven capillary rheometer making use of a thermostated rectangular slit with superimposed magnetic field. A satisfactory agreement of the magnetorheological data with the concentric cylinder results is found in the overlapping shear rate range. 相似文献

Nonlinear viscoelastic properties of MR fluids under large-amplitude-oscillatory-shear 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Nonlinear viscoelastic properties of the MR fluid, MRF-132LD, under large-amplitude oscillatory shear were investigated. This was accomplished by carrying out the experiments under the amplitude sweep mode and the frequency sweep mode, using a rheometer with parallel-plate geometry. Investigations under the influence of various magnetic field strength and temperatures were also conducted. MR fluids behave as nonlinear viscoelastic or viscoplastic materials when they are subjected to large-amplitude shear, where the storage modulus decreases rapidly with increasing strain amplitude. Hence, MR fluid behaviour ranges from predominantly elastic at small strain amplitudes to viscous at high strain amplitudes. Large-amplitude oscillatory shear measurements with frequency sweep mode reveal that the storage modulus is independent of oscillation frequency and approaches plateau values at low frequencies. With increasing frequency, the storage modulus shows a decreasing trend before increasing again. This trend may be explained by micro-structural variation. In addition, the storage modulus increases gradually with increasing field strength but it shows a slightly decreasing trend with temperature. 相似文献

For liquids with high viscosity and low thermal conductivity, viscous dissipation can cause appreciable errors in rheological property measurements. Here, the influences of both viscous dissipation and fluid inertia on the property measurements in oscillatory sliding plate rheometry are investigated. For Newtonian fluids, Bird (1965) solved the combined problem analytically, but only for high frequencies. Here his solution is extended to any frequencies. Also, the equations of motion and energy are solved for linear viscoelastic fluids, and new analytical solutions for the velocity and temperature profiles are given. In both Newtonian and linear viscoelastic fluids, the temperature rise in the gap increases with frequency. The location of the maximum temperature shifts from the mid-plane at low frequency towards the moving wall at high frequency. The fluid inertia increases the viscous dissipation in both fluids. By solving the combined problem, this paper simplifies rheometer design by providing one unified criterion for avoiding measurement errors. Operating limits are presented graphically for minimizing the effects of both fluid inertia and viscous dissipation in oscillatory sliding plate rheometry. 相似文献

The design of a pressurized capillary rheometer operating at prescribed temperature is described to measure the viscosity of magnetic fluids (MFs) containing Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). The equipment constant of the rheometer was obtained using liquids with predetermined viscosities. Experimentally measured viscosities were used to evaluate different equations for suspension viscosities. Deviation of measured suspension viscosities from the Einstein equation was found to be basically due to the influence of spatial distribution and aggregation of Fe3O4 MNPs. By taking account of the coating layer on MNPs and the aggregation of MNPs in MFs, a modified Einstein equation was proposed to fit the experimental data. Moreover, the influence of external magnetic field on viscosity was also taken into account. Viscosities thus predicted are in good agreement with experimental data. Temperature effect on suspension viscosity was shown experimentally to be due to the shear-thinning behavior of the MFs. 相似文献

A new eccentric-cylinder rheometer with guard-ring equipment was constructed as an auxiliary set-up to a Rheometrics Mechanical Spectrometer, type 7200, which enables measurements with the eccentric disk technique. Experimental tests with Newtonian fluids and polymer solutions of relatively low viscosity show that this instrument yields reliable plots of shear viscosity and first normal-stress coefficient over several decades of the effective average shear rate. These coincide very well with plots from a commercial cone-and-plate rheometer even for higher relative eccentricities (up to 0.75). However, no systematic effects of eccentricity, to be expected for higher shear rates, could be observed with these fluids, so that supplementary tests applying fluids with more pronounced viscoelastic properties are to be carried out. 相似文献

Rheometry for large-particulated fluids: analysis of the ball measuring system and comparison to debris flow rheometry 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

For large-particulated fluids encountered in natural debris flow, building materials, and sewage treatment, only a few rheometers
exist that allow the determination of yield stress and viscosity. In the present investigation, we focus on the rheometrical
analysis of the ball measuring system as a suitable tool to measure the rheology of particulated fluids up to grain sizes
of 10 mm. The ball measuring system consists of a sphere that is dragged through a sample volume of approximately 0.5 l. Implemented
in a standard rheometer, torques exerted on the sphere and the corresponding rotational speeds are recorded within a wide
measuring range. In the second part of this investigation, six rheometric devices to determine flow curve and yield stress
of fluids containing large particles with maximum grain sizes of 1 to 25 mm are compared, considering both rheological data
and application in practical use. The large-scale rheometer of Coussot and Piau, the building material learning viscometer
of Wallevik and Gjorv, and the ball measuring system were used for the flow curve determination and a capillary rheometer,
the inclined plane test, and the slump test were used for the yield stress determination. For different coarse and concentrated
sediment–water mixtures, the flow curves and the yield stresses agree well, except for the capillary rheometer, which exhibits
much larger yield stress values. Differences are also noted in the measuring range of the different devices, as well as for
the required sample volume that is crucial for application. 相似文献

In our previous report, we showed that a rheometer equipped with a double concentric cylinder geometry with slotted rotor could effectively reduce wall slip effects and thus it could be used as an alternative to a rheometer with a vane geometry in yield stress measurements. Here, we use three-dimensional CFD simulation to compare these two geometries for rheological measurements of power law and yield stress fluids. Our results indicate that the double concentric cylinder rheometer with slotted rotor (DCCR/SR) is able to accurately measure rheological properties of a wider spectrum of test fluids than a vane rheometer because of significant reduction of the end and secondary flow effects. 相似文献

A tooth rheometer designed to investigate the influence of large amplitude oscillatory shear on the macroscopic orientation of complex fluids is described. The rheometer allows in-situ two-directional small-angle scattering measurements, making it possible to observe in particular the orientation process of hierarchically structured block copolymers in dynamics. Experiments performed with a linear poly(vinyl methyl ether) show that, despite a considerable gap/width ratio, the rheometer can be used for adequate rheological measurements. In addition we found an unexpected dependence of the dynamic parameters on the rheometer gap. The small amount of sample required favors the use of this rheometer for measuring the rheological characteristics of new compounds. 相似文献

The inertial effects in a random squeezing rheometer are examined, both theoretically and experimentally. The rheometer is based on small amplitude random squeezing between two parallel plates, where the upper plate is driven by a random displacement with a broad band spectrum. A fast Fourier transform is used to deliver the complex modulus (or viscosity) of the fluid in a single brief test, over more than two decades of frequency. The inertia of the fluid is shown to produce an error factor, which is also a function of the frequency. The correction factor can be well approximated by a first-order correction in the Reynolds number, for a very large range of Reynolds number, making the inertial correction a very simple procedure for light fluids. 相似文献

We discuss the flow of BKZ fluids in an orthogonal rheometer. Some analytical results are proved, and numerical solutions are obtained for the Currie model. These solutions show a boundary layer behavior at high Reynolds numbers and the possibility of discontinuous solutions or nonexistence at high Weissenberg numbers. 相似文献

Experimental studies attempting to ascertain the influence of viscoelasticity on the atomization of polymer solution are often hindered by the inability to decouple the effect of shear thinning from the effect of extensional hardening. Here, the influence of viscoelasticity on the jet break up of a series of non-shear-thinning viscoelastic fluids is quantified. Previous characterization using an opposed-nozzle rheometer identified the critical extensional rates for strain hardening of these model fluids. The strain hardening fluids exhibit a beads-on-string structure with reduction or elimination of satellite drops. Capillary instabilities grow on the filaments connecting the spheres and eventually break the filaments up into a string of very small drops about one order of magnitude smaller than the satellite drops formed by a Newtonian fluid with the same shear viscosity, surface tension, and density. These results confirm that strain hardening is the key rheological property in jet break up and that the critical extensional rate of a fluid is pertinent in determining the final characteristics of break up. Results suggest that the opposed-nozzle rheometer does probe extensional behavior in the range of extensional rates that are relevant to jet break up, providing a tool to roughly predict jet break up. 相似文献

In the present article, the rheological responses and dispersion stability of magnetorheological (MR) fluids were investigated
experimentally. Suspensions of magnetite and carbonyl iron particles were prepared as model MR fluids. Under an external magnetic
field (H
0) and a steady shear flow, the yield stress depends upon H
0
3/2. The Yield stress depended on the volume fraction of the particle (φ) linearly only at low concentration and increased faster
at high fraction. Rheological behavior of MR fluids subjected to a small-strain oscillatory shear flow was investigated as
a function of the strain amplitude, frequency, and the external magnetic field. In order to improve the stability of MR fluid,
ferromagnetic Co-γ-Fe2O3 and CrO2 particles were added as the stabilizing and thickening agent in the carbonyl iron suspension. Such needle-like particles
seem to play a role in the steric repulsion between the relatively large carbonyl iron particles, resulting in improved stability
against rapid sedimentation of dense iron particles. Furthermore, the additive-containing MR suspensions exhibited larger
yield stress, especially at higher magnetic field strength.
