Rotating Disk Viscometer Problem 1.55 Jillann Walker 12.12.06
2
Abstract Given the rotating disk viscometer, determine the viscosity of the oil, and also determine the overall uncertainty in viscosity if each parameter ( M, R, h, f) is +/- 1percent.

Diagram
4
Known Values R = 5cm h = 1mm f = 900rpm τ = 0.537 Nm
5
Solve For V = Tangential Velocity -Used in viscosity formula μ = Viscosity
6
Assumptions Closed system Density is not relevant Shear stress is consistent throughout Velocity is linear
7
Equations Viscosity Tangential Velocity Note: V = Tangential Velocity Note: r = radius of disk
8
Solution = 2 x 3.14 x 0.05m x 15 = 4.71239
9
Explanation Shear takes place at the surface of the disk over the area. Higher velocity require lower viscosity Higher clearance requires higher viscosity 1 percent uncertainty –Largest uncertainty range at 1 on the top and -1 on the bottom of the plate –This is not a 2% difference
10
Biomedical Relation Shoulder joint or ankle joint. Refer to a ball and socket –The joint fitting will contain liquid of some sort and depending on the resistance needed to rotate the joint, will determine the viscosity of the liquid.
