ABSTRACT

The viscosity increases with the rate of shear strain because the opposing forces being applied in the unit cross area are increased. When the shear strain rate becomes the least, much mass is transferred in unit time. Under a dilatants or shear thickening material viscosity and friccohesity both increase with the rate of shear strain, like a non-Newtonian fluid. A dilatant fluid with higher shear viscosity applies a shear stress that is a deviation from Newton’s law. Shear thickening activity occurs when a colloid transitions from a stable state to a state of flocculation. The shear thickening leads to higher friccohesity, enabling several applications. The viscosity decreases with the rate of shear strain because the opposing forces are weakened, which allow for a quicker mass transfer as weak intermolecular forces (IMF) are developed. Since the mixtures have weaker IMFs and chemical activities, a shaking activity provides mechanical energy that further weakens the exiting IMF, so their viscosity decreases.
