β¦ Synopsis
Viscosity measurements in a wide shear rate range, on suspensions of six Newtonian and non-Newtonian liquids, are reported.
The shear rate dependency of suspensions in non-Newtonian liquids is compared with that of suspensions in Newtonian ones and an extension to the former of the Krieger-Dougherty theory, which holds for the latter, is attempted. Although some success is obtained, an alternative explanation of the observed behavior of the suspensions of non-Newtonian liquids is discussed.
