\ cones we SHEAFE 13, Torque in a Couette viscometer—M, Fig. PS.13 shows the horizontal cross section of a concentric cylinder or “Couette” viscometer, which is an apparatus for determining the viscosity of the duid that is placed between the two vertical cylinders. The inner and outer cylinders have radii of r, and r2, respectively. If the inner cylinder is rotated with a steady angular velocity w, and the outer cylinder © is stationary, derive an expression for vp ( ‘the 9 velocity component) as a function of radial location r. ‘Inner cylinder i ¥o, Outer cylinder ry Fig. P6.13 Section of a Couette viscometer. _ If, further, the torque required to rotate the inner cylinder is found to beT per unit length of the cylinder, derive an expression whereby the unknown viscosity can be determined, in terms of T, w, 71, and r2. Hint: you will need to consider one of the shear stresses given in Table 5.3. EG «) »Xg-420 Ve offese ane efeck of sys Seas oes ke Y 4 \ Fore. = .
