THE HOMOGENIZING PROCESS IN HIGH VISCOSITY MATERIALS HAVING DIFFERENT VISCOSITIES

Abstract

This paper deals with an examination of the hypothesis for striation thickness by Mohr.
The effect of viscosity ratio on striation thickness is examined in a cone rotor-type mixer as a uniform shear system, and it is concluded that the effect of the viscosity ratio might be negligible in a system where a minor component is inset in a miscible major component of different viscosity. The authors have shown the phenomenon of formation of particles of minor component in the range of viscosity ratio μ_d/μ_c>3 and μ_d/μ_c<0.6.
