Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 61P
A proposal has been made to use a pair of parallel disks to measure the viscosity of a liquid sample. The upper disk rotates at height h above the lower disk. The viscosity of the liquid in the gap is to be calculated from measurements of the torque needed to turn the upper disk steadily. Obtain an algebraic expression for the torque needed to turn the disk. Could we use this device to measure the viscosity of a non-Newtonian fluid? Explain.

(b) Use the above expression of the velocity to determine the expression of the torque (I) required
to rotate the upper disk a constant angular velocity (o) when the gap is filled with a fluid of
viscosity (μ).
(c) An experiment found that a torque of 0.01 Nm is needed to rotate the disk at 500rpm. What is
the viscosity of the fluid if the viscometer's radius and gap are 5cm and 2mm, respectively?
Please answer the problems. Show the complete solution.
A rotating cup viscometer has an inner cylinder diameter of 50.8mm, and the gap between cups is
5.08mm. The inner cylinder length is 63.5mm. The viscometer is used to obtain viscosity data on a
Newtonian liquid. When the inner cylinder rotates at 10 rev/min, the torque on the inner cylinder
is measured to be 0.01243mN - m. Calculate the viscosity of the fluid. If the fluid density is 850 kg/
m^3, calculate the kinematic viscosity.

- Problem 1: A cone-plate viscometer is a device used to measure a fluid's viscosity. The torque M required to turn a cone-plate viscometer depends on the angular velocity, the radius R, the cone angle and the viscosity of the test fluid μ: M = f(Q,R,0,µ) (it is assumed that inertial effect is negligible; thus the torque does not depend on the fluid's density).
