One type of which Is shown on the sketch, The one avaliable is nat of the commercial type. This viscometer makes use ofthe principles in case of low around a small sphere. For faminar flow vd/2 < 2 in which d is the diameter of the sphere. The friction oF the deformation drag Fy of the sphere moving at a constant velocity V through 2 fluid of infinite extend is glen by Stoke's Law with the following assumptions: 1, The particle must be a sphere. 2) The surface of te particle must be smooth. 3. The resistance to fall or drag force Fals due to the viscosity of the Mu. 4. The terminal velocity must be constant Fss3nnMd ~ “ Viscometer—a velocity oF ‘Aree body dlagram ofthe sphere after It has acquired constant r terminal velocty Is shown onthe sketch where W Is the weight ofthe sphere, FIs the buoyant force and Fy s the deformation drag. ———(2) Fe +P -W or SmiNE + x RBG ~ PRY =O Solving for we 26824) —<——— av Equation (4) bs to be corrected in actual practice because the extent of the ‘ud isnot infinite ana the Influence of boundary proximity on the sphere is large. “The comection is usualy affected by multiplying the observed velocity of fall Vs by @ certain constant "K" which is a function of djDrm the clameter of the sphere anc medium ratio, such that v= wk (5) where = K = 1+ 96/4Dq + (90/4 On? “The equation for viscosty then becomes w= UB 8) / 18K ‘or which the viscosty can be computed. OBJECTIVE: “The purpose ofthis experiment is to determine the viscosity of a certain fuid APPARATUS: Viscometer stopwatch —~ Hydrometer thermometerLADORATORY PROCEDUTE: Determine the temperature and specific gravity of the liquid whose viscosity is desired. Drop cautiously one of the spheres noting whether the sphere is guided correctly or is off-center. Determine the time required for the sphere to travel 2 certain distance. Repeat the procedure for each sphere. REPORT: From the data obtained inthe laboratory, comput for each run 1.
