Mooney equation viscosity

Input(s)

\(\boldsymbol{\mu}_{\mathbf{0}}\): Viscosity of Suspending Medium (cP)

\(\emptyset\): Volume Fraction (fraction)

\(\boldsymbol{\varphi}_{\mathbf{0}}\): Empirical Constant Between 0.74 and 0.52 (fraction)

Output(s)

\(\boldsymbol{\mu}_{\text {eff: }} \quad\) Effective Viscosity (cP)

Formula(s)

\[ \mu_{\mathrm{eff}}=\mu_{0} *\left(\exp \left(\frac{\frac{5}{2} * \varnothing}{1-\left(\frac{\varnothing}{\emptyset_{\mathrm{o}}}\right)}\right)\right) \]
