    This document discusses the fundamentals of viscosity and different types of fluids. Newtonian fluids like water have a viscosity that does not change with shear rate or stress, while non-Newtonian fluids like drilling fluids have viscosities that change. Pseudoplastic fluids are non-Newtonian and exhibit shear thinning, where viscosity decreases with increasing shear rate, which is desirable for drilling fluids as it allows them to more easily flow through pipes and drill bits.

    Resistance = torque
    is the resistance coming from moving of bob
    against the rotor in rheometer & represent the
    reading against different RPM

    RPM ( 600-300-200-100-6-3)
    velocity
    Pseudoplasticity, or shear thinning, is a non-Newtonian behavior that is
    desirable for drilling fluids.
    Shear thinning (pseudoplastic ):fluid contains components that can deform &
    Rearrange to accumodate to flow

    shear thickening : fluid contains components that can’t deform or rearrange to


    accommodate flow
