ACKNOLEDGEMENT

In the accomplishment of this project successfully many

people have best owned upon me their blessings and heart
pledged support.
Primarily I would thank god for being able to complete this
project with success. Then I would like to thank my
headmaster Mr. V.P.Mishra and chemistry teacher
Mrs.Meena Nair ,whose valuable guidance has been the
ones that helped me patch this project and make it full proof
success his suggestions and his instructions has served as
major contributor towards the completion of the project

OOBLECK/NON NEWTONIAN FLUID

A non-Newtonian fluid is a
fluid
with properties that differ in
any
way from those of
Newtonian fluids. Most
commonly, the viscosity of
nonNewtonian fluids is
dependent on shear rate or
shear
rate history. Some nonNewtonian fluids with shear-independent viscosity, however,
still exhibit normal stress-differences or other non-Newtonian
behavior. Many salt solutions and molten polymers are nonNewtonian fluids, as are many commonly found substances
such as ketchup, custard, toothpaste, starch suspensions,

Newtonian fluid, the relation
between the shear stress and the
shear rate is linear, passing
through the origin, the constant
of proportionality being the
coefficient of viscosity. In a nonNewtonian fluid, the relation
between the shear stress and the
shear rate is different and can
even be time-dependent (Time Dependent Viscosity).
Therefore, a constant coefficient of viscosity cannot be
defined.

OOBLECK
An inexpensive, non-toxic example of a non-Newtonian fluid is a suspension of starch (e.g.
cornstarch) in water, sometimes called "oobleck" or "ooze" (1 part of water to 1.52 parts of
corn starch).
Uncooked cornflour has the same properties. The name "oobleck" is derived from the Dr.
Seuss book Bartholomew and the Oobleck.[7]
Because of its properties, oobleck is often used in demonstrations that exhibit its unusual
behavior. A person may walk on a large tub of oobleck without sinking due to its shear
thickening properties, given the individual moves quickly enough to provide enough force
with each step to cause the thickening. Also, if oobleck is placed on a large subwoofer driven
at a sufficiently high volume, it will thicken and form standing waves in response to low
frequency sound waves from the speaker.
