Bingham Plastic Material Analysis

The document analyzes data on the shear stress and shear rate of an insulation material to determine its type and suitable replacement. It finds that the material behaves as a Bingham plastic based on the linear relationship between shear stress and shear rate. The document calculates the yield stress and plastic viscosity of the material and determines that a material with a yield stress of 250 Pa and plastic viscosity of 0.652 N-s/m2 would make a suitable replacement.

Problem 2.

69 [Difficulty: 4]

Given: Data on insulation material


Find: Type of material; replacement material
Solution:

The velocity gradient is

du/dy = U/ δ where δ = 0.001 m

Data and τ (Pa) U (m/s) du/dy (s-1)

Hence we have a Bingham plastic, with τy = 154 Pa

µp = 0.963 N·s/m

At τ = 450 Pa, based on the linear fit

du/dy = 307 s

For a fluid with τy = 250 Pa

we can use the Bingham plastic formula to solve for µ p given τ , τ y and du/dy from above

µp = 0.652 N·s/m
