![]() For the semisolid or solid asphalt at room temperature, penetration is used to express the viscosity for the liquid asphalt at room temperature, viscosity degree is used to express the viscosity. At room temperature, asphalts in different states have different indexes of viscosity. Viscosity also reflects the hardness and density of asphalt. Viscosity is a kind of ability reflecting that the materials inside asphalt hinder its fluidity. In Building Materials in Civil Engineering, 2011 (2) Viscosity This is because their average molecular weight can be adjusted to a value closer to the critical limit for shear stability. Consequently, at a given stability level and structure, VI improvers with a narrower molecular-weight distribution will have a higher thickening power. It should be noted that because shear stability is molecular weight sensitive, the molecular weight of a VI improver with a broad distribution will have to be adjusted to a comparatively low value for proper control of SSI. In Figure 41 311 it is clear that the star polymethacrylate (PMA) VM behaves better than the linear PMA or PIB because it has the highest VI with a minimum SSI. 309 Under the same shear rate their higher viscosity 310 is the reason why star polymers are used as an improved VI in the multigrade lubricating oils. ![]() Toward these lines star polymers (e.g., star polymethacrylates, hydrogenated star PIs) are perfectly suited for VI improvers, as they have higher shear stability than the corresponding linear ones. The lower the value of SSI, the better or more resistant is the VI improver to mechanical stress or shear. ![]() Shear stability of VI (or VM) is evaluated by determining the shear stability index (SSI), which is a measure of loss of viscosity due to shearing. Lower-molecular-weight polymers are more shear resistant but do not improve viscosity as effectively as at higher temperatures and, therefore, must be used in larger quantities. Higher-molecular-weight polymers make better thickeners but tend to have less resistance to mechanical shear. As the additive (VI improver) is repeatedly sheared in the engine, it loses its ability to act as a more viscous fluid at higher temperatures, due to chain scission. The primary disadvantage of the polymers as VI is their sensitivity (chain scission) to mechanical shearing. The minimum thickness is decreased, although the friction torque and oil flow rate are increased. The location, in space and time of the minimum film thickness is modified by the deformations of the connecting-rod structure and by the dynamic response of the fluid film. The engine bearings may be subjected to considerable deformations that completely modify the film thickness and oil pressure distributions around the journal. But, even though their application conditions are rather limited, the conclusions of the present study seem to be worth to be considered, since they correspond to currently operating conditions of car engines in Europe. Heavy loads at low speeds, particularly in diesel engines, will amplify the compression forces, which the connecting-rod structure can better support than the thrust forces. ![]() It is obvious that at very low speeds, the behaviour of some bearings will be close to the behaviour of the rigid connecting-rod bearing. It is suitable to be very cautious before generalizing the conclusions: they are related to the considered load diagram (case of rapid petrol engine) and to a particular connecting-rod shape. The main approaching hypotheses (e.g., plane deformation, short bearing theory, isoviscosity) must not be forgotten, even though they appear, in a first approximation, as reasonable. The present study represents, from the theoretical viewpoint, a new stage in the analysis of bearing characteristics under realistic conditions. The tests for thermally treated Sioux quartzite indicate that its permeability increases with increasing temperature from room temperature to 110 ☌. Furthermore, confining pressure may affect the viscosity of a rock.Īs viscosity decreases, permeability usually increases. Compared with the viscosity at room temperature, the viscosity of CO 2 at 70 ☌ was only 20% of the value at room temperature, while the viscosity of H 2O at 70 ☌ was about 40%. The test results for Sioux quartzite indicated that the viscosities of water and carbon dioxide decreased with increasing temperature. For example, granite has a higher viscosity than shale. In addition, different rocks have different viscosities. Generally, heating reduces but moisture increases the viscosity of a rock. Low viscosity means that it is easy to flow. Viscosity refers to the resistance to flow. Zong-Xian Zhang, in Rock Fracture and Blasting, 2016 5.1.2.3 Viscosity and Permeability ![]()
