RESEARCHING AND MODELING OF THE DYNAMIC VISCOSITY OF THE FERRO-OILS WITH THE DIFFERENT CONCENTRATIONS OF MAGNETIC PARTICLES IN THE ASPECT OF PRESSURE CHANGES

Abstract

In this article, the results of the experimental research of determining the dynamic viscosity of the ferro-oils with different concentration of the magnetic particles in terms of pressure change are presented. The research was conducted on the Thermo Scientific Haake Mars III rheometer in the configuration with a pressure chamber. The applied configuration allowed the author to conduct research on the change of viscosity for the selected pressure values p in range from 0 to 100 bars. The research was conducted for three selected temperature values, including t = 30°C, 60°C, and 90°C, as well as selected shear rates of 200 and 600s-1. The chosen concentration values of the magnetic particles were nCS = 1%, 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%. The viscous characteristics gathered as a result of the research have been analysed with the aim of identifying the nature of the correlations and to create mathematical-physical models of changes in the dynamic viscosity of the ferrooils due to the change in pressure in terms of concentrations of the magnetic particles. Analysis, identification, and adaptation of the characteristics were conducted using the StatSoft STATISTICA ver. 9 software. Selected mathematical adaptations of the acquired results were submitted through the enhanced analysis. In addition, parameters of the course of functions were designated and their qualitative assessments were made.
