In other words, he viscosity at any particular time depends upon the amount of previous agita- tion or shearing ofthe liquid. A iquia whose viscosity decreases with time at a glven shear rate is called a thixotiopic liquid. Examples are asphalts, glues, molasses, paint, soap, starch, and (iease. Liquids whose viscosity increases with time are called faopectic iquics, but they are cekiom encountered in pumping applications. ‘There are two basie viscosity parameters: dynamic (or absolute) viscosity and kinematic viscosity. Dynamic viscosities are given in toms of force required 10 move a unit area a unit distance. ‘This Is usually expressed in pound-seconds per equare foot in the English system whieh Is equal to slugs per foot-secand, The Metric system is mare commonly used, howaver, in which the unitis the dyne-second per square centimeter called the Poise. ‘This is numerically equal to the gram per centimeter-second. For convenience, numerical values are normally expressed in Ccentipolse, which are equal to one-hundredth ofa poise. Most pipe friction charts and pump conection charts list kine- ‘matic viscosity. The basic unit of kinematic viscosity is the stoke which is equal to a squate centimeter per second in the ‘Metric system. The corresponding Englsh unit is square foot por second. The eontstoke which Is one-hundredth of a stoke is romally used in the charts, The following formula is used to ‘obiain the kinematic viscosity when the Gynamic or absolute viscosity is known: cantipoie oF ‘There are numerous types of viscometers available for deter- ‘ining iqud viseasities, most of which are designed for specific liguias or viscosity ranges. The Sayboltviscometers are probably the mast widely used inthe United States, The Saybolt Universal Viecomter measures low to medium viscosity, and the Saybott Furl Viscometer measures high viscosities. The corresponding units are the SSU (Seconds Saybolt Universal) and the SSF (Seconds Saybolt Furol) These units are found on most pipe {retin and purnp conection chars in addition to centistokes.

Fuel Oil - Temperature Versus Viscosity Heaters can be operated just as efficiently burning fuel of] as burning gas; however, this is dependent on burner design and the quality of fuel oi burned. A most important factor in fuel of burning is viscosity at the burner. No matter what atomization system is utilized, the viscosity of the of] as atomized is quite critical. Changes in fuel of? viscosity can have a tremendous effect upon how well the of1 is atomized or broken into fine particles thus having a tremendous effect upon the flame quality. It should be noted at this time that the fuel oi] burning systems vary quite widely as to their tolerance for viscosity of the of] as atomized. The greatest tolerance for viscosity is characteristic of steam atomization. Normally, the heavier the fuel oil, the more potential trouble there is in burning it. In general, as the density of the fuel ofl increases so does the viscosity of the fuel ei1. To reduce the viscosity to a point at which it can be readily atomized requires heating the ofl, in some cases to quite high temperatures. In many cases this can mean ‘insulating and even steam tracing the of] lines. The flash point of the fuel oi] is important. If the flash point of the 011 is too ow, flashing will occur either at the burner or in the fuel tank. When this condition occurs, the proper operating temperature to achieve 200 SSU viscosity cannot be reached. Poor operations result from firing the cold oi]. When the oil is too cold, larger oil droplets are produced in the atomizer, The larger droplets of oi] produce sparks or "fireflies" in the of1 flame, ~ JOHN ZINK SERIES EA OIL GUNS CBASED ON 20@ SSU OIL) 3@ PSIG STEAM DIFFERENTIAL io. 30 40 80 60 704030!

The greater the fuel of] pressure, the greater the flexibility in burner operation. Atomization of fuel of1 is obtained through the expenditure of eneray. The energy may be supplied by steam suitably injected into the ofl or it may be supplied by high oi1 pressure. Of] burners will turndown to about 40-45 psig (3.0 Ko/Cm®) of? Pressure, As the of1 pressure is lowered on the of] gun, atomization gets worse due to lower pressure. The oil particle sizes increase resulting in slower burning. The slower burning lifts the flame out of the primary tile, Pulsation will occur and the flame will go out.
