n1 = ρ1t1/ρ2t2 X n2
ρ1-density ofunknown liquid
t1-time of flow of unknown
liquid
n2-viscosity of known liquid
Applications
1.Quality control purpose in
formulation & evaluation of
dispersed system
2.Evolution of liquid paraffin,
dextran40 injection
Plug flow
Bob exert pressure on inner wall of cup
Use largest bob to reduce gap
Increase speed of bob
Cone & Plate
Plug flow can not be observed
0.1-0.2 ml sample
Cleaning & filling easy
Less time required
Rate of shear & degree of sample structure it
shows reduction in shearing stress & hence
consistency of material.
Further decrease in shear rate results in
formation of Hysteresis loop abce
If sample held at constant rate of shear at
point (b) for some extended time t2 sec, loop
abcde is observered
So, rheogram of thixotropic material is not
unique but it depends upon sample &
material
Rheological property depends on rate at
which shear is increased or decreased &
length of time for which material is subjected
to any rate of shear.
Procaine penicillin suspension in water
Bulges
Swell in presence of water gives bulges
Conc aq solution of bentonite gel
(magma) 10-15 % gives hysteresis loop
with bulge in up curve
Due to formation of some specific str of
crystalline plates of bentonite which
leads to swelling of magma.
Swelled 3D str responsible for bulge in
up curve
Deformation of solid
Deformation change in size and shape of
object changing dimensions
Stress
Force per unit area that applies on object to
deform it unit Nm
-2
or Pa
Types
1. Direct stress
It is produced under direct loading conditions
1Tensile stress
Tensile force acting per unit area of the body
Extension or elongate dimensions of the body
Ratio of change in length to original length
Strain
Measure the amount of deformation
If bar has original length L and load is
applied on bar length of barwill change
∆L
Strain =∆L/L
Types
1. Tensile strain
Ratio of increase in length to original
length of bar
2. Compressive strain: Ratio. Of
decrease in length to original length of
bar
3. Shear strain: Produced by shear force
Stress exceeds the elastic limit, object
is permanently distorted and does not
return to its original shape after stress
is removed.
Hence shape of the object is
permanently changed.
As stress increases even further
material ultimately breaks
Heckel equationFrom tablet dosage form we can
understand deformation behaviour of individual
components
Useful method for estimating the volume reduction under
the compression pressure in pharmacy.
Plot can be affected by time of compression, degree of
lubrication and size of die.
In [1/1D]=KP +A
Kuentz and Leuenberger modified Rule which explain
transition between state of powder to state of tablet
Hersey and Rees , York and Pilpel differentiate powders
into 3 types
Types A
Material comparatively soft, readily undergoes plastic
deformation. Sodium chloride
Linear relationship observed with plots remaining parellel
at the applied pressure increases
