Slurry viscosity, two ways

The same calculation run twice, side by side. Change anything on either side and the difference is shown output by output. This page is a link: both sets of numbers are in the address bar.

Side A open alone

The liquid the particulate is carried in. Handbook viscosity at 20 °C.

%

The solid's share of the total volume.

Side B open alone

The liquid the particulate is carried in. Handbook viscosity at 20 °C.

%

The solid's share of the total volume.

Swap sides

What changed

The two sides are the same. Change something on either.

Output A B B against A
η Mixture viscosity 1.143 mPa·s 1.143 mPa·s same
k Relative viscosity 1.141 1.141 same

Side A, with its numbers

LaTeX
1.143\,\mathrm{mPa·s} = 1.002\,\mathrm{mPa·s} \left( 1 + 2.5 \cdot 5\,\mathrm{%} + 6.2 \cdot 5\,\mathrm{%}^2 \right)

Side B, with its numbers
