Taylor equation viscosity

Input(s)

μo\boldsymbol{\mu}_{\boldsymbol{o}}: Viscosity of Suspending Medium (cP)

\varnothing: Volume Fraction (fraction)

μ1\boldsymbol{\mu}_{\mathbf{1}}: Viscosity of Disperse Phase (cP)(\mathrm{cP})

Output(s)

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

Formula(s)

μeff=μo(1+(μo+52μ1μo+μ1)ϕ)\mu_{\mathrm{eff}}=\mu_{\mathrm{o}} *\left(1+\left(\frac{\mu_{\mathrm{o}}+\frac{5}{2} * \mu_{1}}{\mu_{\mathrm{o}}+\mu_{1}}\right) * \phi\right)
