Primary electroviscous effect for a dilute suspension of porous spheres with fixed volumetric charge density is investigated theoretically. In the absence of flow, the electrical potential and solution charge density are assumed to satisfy the linearized Poisson-Boltzmann equation. With incorporatio

✦ Synopsis
A study on the electroviscous effect of alumina suspensions has been made. At the low volume fraction of the particles studied here only a first-order effect was detected. Ubbelohde-type capillary viscometers have been used. A simple method to determine the hydrodynamic constant k 1 has been proposed. The experimental primary electroviscous coefficients corresponding to different electrolyte concentrations have been compared with two different theoretical approachs (I.

## Abstract Reduced viscosity of a dilute aqueous solution of hen egg white lysozyme is measured in the pH range from 1.4 to 12.7 for various NaCI concentrations. The viscosity decreases with increasing pH below the isoelectric point (pH 11) on account of diminution in the electroviscous effect, re
