CHAPTER 2 R,EVIE\rJ OF B,ACKGROD1m l1ATERIAL PSEUDO PLASTIC FLUIDS -< -.' "- - - • wnile Newtonian behavior is only one of many rheological types, the large majority of fluids h~~dled industrially are Newtonian. Pseudoplastic fluids are second in i1nportance to the NeHtonians (118).. The Bingham plas tics are probably third in importance but many of these have been treated as pseudoplastics (126). There are very few industrial dilatants, and the time dependent and viscoelastic fluid groups are small 8nd are often treated as pseudoplastics (7, 118, 120, 121, 126, 128, 179, 186). Pseudoplastic fluids l.Jere studied in this Hork because of their relative importance. ~1elts a..Yld sol'll'tions of substances Hi th high mole cular weight are usually pseudoplastic (118, 196) .. Suspensions of asymmetrie solids are often in this category. (120, 213). Typical examples of pseudoplastics are polystyrene, copolymers of styrene, low and high pressure polyethylene, rubber modified styrene polymers, and slurries of cement rock in water (96, 212). The flm ..! behavior of pseudop1astic fluids is shov.ffi graphically in Figure 2-1. At very lov.T a..Yld very high shear rates the apparent viscosity is a constant, as shown in curve A. Thus in these ranges the fluid acts as a Newtonian fluid. BetvJeen these two extremes., hOl
