If
we
imagine
again
the
sand,
the
grains
on
the
top
layer
will
flow
faster
than
those
below
it
or
those
near
the
wall
of
the
sack.
Schematically,
we
can
imagine
layers
of
rice
grains
moving
in
a
fashion
shown
in
Figure
1.
Figure
1.
Schematic
of
a
fluid
flow.
In
a
cylinder
the
plates
are
concentric
circles.
The
vectors
show
the
velocity
gradient
perpendicular
to
the
direction
of
the
flow.
The
top
layer
of
a
given
area
A
moves
fater
than
the
layer
below
it,
an
so
on
and
so
forth,
as
shown
by
the
velocity
vectors.
The
top
layer
drags
along
with
it
the
lower
layers.
The
strain
in
this
diagram
is
defines
as
(x/r);
the
rate
strain
is
(x/r)/t.
We
may
arrange
equation
1
to:
( )
(2)
=
= ( )
Which
shows
that
the
force
is
proportional
to
the
velocity
gradient
perpendicular
to
the
direction
of
flow.
A
fluid
that
behaves
as
predicted
by
Equation
1
(or
2)
is
termed
as
Newtonian
fluid,
and
the
flow
behavior
is
decribed
as
laminar
flow.
For
Newtonian
fluids,
the
applied
shear
stress
is
directly
proportional
to
the
strain
rate
as
shown
in
Figure
2;
non-Newtonian
flow
behavior
is
exhibited
by
deviations
from
this
line.
Shear
thickening
occurs
when
the
fluid
increases
viscosity
with
increased
shear
stress
(e.g.,
when
mixing
ube)
and
shear
thinning
occurs
when
the
fluid
becomes
less
viscous
with
increased
shear
stress
(when
beating
egg).
In
this
experiment,
you
shall
measure
the
viscosity
coefficient
of
a
liquid
solution
of
dextran.
To
measure
the
viscosity,
you
shall
use
an
Ostwald
viscometer
(Figure
3)
wherein
the
efflux
time
for
the
liquid
to
move
from
point
a
to
b
will
be
measured.
Poiseuilles
equation
applies:
!
=
(3)
Where
V
is
the
volume
of
the
liquid,
t
is
the
time,
P
is
the
hydrostatic
pressure
of
the
flowing
liquid,
l
is
the
length
of
the
capillary,
and
R
is
the
radius
of
the
capillary.
The
hydrostatic
pressure
is
fixed
by
measuring
the
time
across
the
same
marks
a
and
b
and
keeping
the
volume
of
the
liquid
constant.
Figure
3.
An
Ostwald
Capillary
Viscometer.
The
efflux
time
is
measured
across
flow
from
fiducial
mark
A
to
B.
The
hydrostatic
pressure
will
change
with
the
density
of
the
liquid,
(recall
that
this
pressure
is
equal
to
)
.
Note
that
many
of
the
parameters
in
Poiseuilles
equation
are
dependent
on
the
geometry
of
the
viscometer.
To
facilitate
the
measurements
we
shall
calibrate
the
viscometer
against
a
liquid
with
a
known
viscosity.
In
this
case
we
have
the
following
relation
which
can
be
derived
by
taking
the
ratio
of
Equation
3
for
the
two
liquids;
the
constant
parameters
for
the
viscometer
will
cancel
leaving:
! ! !
=
! ! !
(4)
Where
the
subscript
1
is
the
liquid
with
the
known
density
and
viscosity
(water
in
our
case)
and
subscript
2
is
the
test
liquid
(the
polymer
solution).
You
will
need
to
measure
the
density
of
your
test
liquid
using
a
pycnometer
or
if
the
liquid
is
dilute
enough,
assume
its
density
to
be
close
to
that
of
the
solvent.
Note
that
the
relation
above
assumes
constant
temperature
and
constant
volume
of
the
liquid.
You
will
use
dextran,
a
polysaccharide
that
is
made
of
glucose
units
linked
together
via
a
-1,6-
glycosidic
bonds.
Dextran
is
soluble
in
water.
When
dissolved,
we
can
model
the
dextran
molecules
to
be
coiled
chains
that
resemble
long
spaghetti
noodles.
These
chains
affect
the
viscosity
of
the
solution.
Imagine
the
sand
mixed
with
large
gravel.
As
most
polymers,
dextran
does
not
have
uniform
molecular
weight,
that
is,
all
chains
are
not
of
the
same
weight.
The
molecular
weight
is
therefore
reported
as
average
weight.
Modeling
the
polymer
as
randomly
coiled
chain
means
the
end-to-end
distance
of
the
chain
is
going
to
vary
with
the
molecular
weight
s
follows
(5)
! !
And
assuming
the
chains
behave
as
spheres
(or
marbles)
in
solution,
the
viscosity
can
be
shown
to
be
directly
proportional
to
the
square
root
of
the
molecular
weight.
(6)
= ! !
Where
K
is
a
constant.
However,
we
know
that
both
polymer
chains
are
nor
really
hard
spheres.
They
can
expand
or
contract
depending
on
how
well
they
like
to
imbibe
solvent
within
them,
or
how
well
the
solvent
can
swell
the
chain.
A
solvent
that
swells
the
dimension
of
the
chain
by
solvation
is
termed
as
a
good
solvent,
otherwise
it
is
called
a
poor
solvent.
In
the
case
when
the
chain
behaves
like
an
unperturbed
coil,
we
have
a
so-called
theta
solvent.
Thus
relation
6
can
be
modified
into
a
Mark-Houwink
relation:
= !
(7)
Where
is
the
instrinsic
viscosity
that
vary
from
0.5
for
a
random
coil
and
1.7
for
a
chain
that
behaves
a
rod-like.
The
intrinsic
viscosity
is
defined
as
the
value
of
the
!" /
when
c
approaches
zero;
c
is
the
concentration
of
the
polymer
solution
in
gram
per
100
mL
solution
and
!"
is
the
specific
viscosity
of
the
solution:
!" =
1

(8)
!
!
Assuming
that
the
density
of
solution
is
approximately
equal
to
that
of
pure
solvent
(see
equation
4
above).
Thus,
is
the
value
of
the
y-intercept
of
a
linear
plot
of
the
(!" /) .
EXPERIMENTAL:
Clean
the
viscometer
thoroughly
with
cleaning
solution
(chromic
acid
or
other
suitable
acid-washing
reagents)
and
rinse
thoroughly
with
distilled
water.
You
can
draw
liquid
into
the
bulbs
using
a
rubber
aspirator.
You
can
quickly
dry
the
viscometer
by
rinsing
with
acetone.
Determine
the
volume
needed
to
fill
your
viscometer.
You
should
fill
it
up
to
the
upper
fiducial
mark
above
the
small
bulb
and
at
the
same
time
have
the
volume
of
the
liquid
in
the
large
bulb
to
about
half.
Note
down
this
volume
as
you
will
use
the
same
volume
every
time
for
the
rest
of
your
measurements.
Fill
your
viscometer
with
distilled
water
with
the
volume
you
measured
above,
and
let
it
equilibrate
for
about
10
minutes
in
a
constant
temperature
bath.
Record
the
temperature
of
the
bath.
The
viscometer
should
be
immersed
in
the
bath
up
to
the
first
fiducial
mark.
After
equilibration,
bu
suction,
draw
water
above
the
first
fiducial
mark.
Let
it
flow
naturally
and
record
the
time
it
takes
for
the
liquid
to
flow
from
mark
A
to
B
(Figure
3).
Do
the
measurement
of
the
efflux
time
a
second
time.
Prepare
the
polymer
solution
while
waiting
for
the
viscometer
to
equilibrate.
Prepare
100.00
mL
stock
solution
of
concentration
about
1.0
g
/
100
mL.
Weigh
out
exactly
1.00
g
of
the
polymer
in
a
small
clean
beaker.
Dissolve
the
polymer
by
adding
a
small
volume
of
hot
water
(not
boiling).
Transfer
the
solution
quantitatively
from
the
beaker
to
a
100-mL
volumetric
flask.
Allow
the
solution
and
the
flask
to
equilibrate
to
room
temperature
before
diluting
to
mark.
Now
prepare
a
two-fold
dilution
of
this
stock
solution
to
prepare
a
polymer
solution
that
is
0.5
g/100
mL
in
concentration.
Prepare
successively
other
solutions
with
the
following
concentrations:
0.25,
0.125,
and
0.0625
g/
100
mL.
Let
your
solutions
equilibrate
in
a
water
bath
of
the
same
temperature
as
your
viscometer
water
bath.
The
temperature
should
be
keptwithin
0.05!
throughout
the
entire
experiment.
Measure
the
efflux
times
of
your
polymer
solutions
in
your
viscometer.
To
facilitate
filling
and
cleaning
of
the
viscometer,
do
not
let
it
dry
with
the
polymer
solution,
but
rather,
rinse
it
copiously
with
water,
then
acetone,
air
dry
then
fill
with
the
new
solution.
Note
that
polymers
do
not
dissolve
quickly,
and
if
residues
were
left
to
dry
on
the
walls
of
the
container,
it
will
take
time
to
remove
them
by
simple
rinsing.
Each
one
will
use
different
dextran
with
different
average
molecular
weight
to
be
assigned
by
your
instructor.
