Taylor equation viscosity
Input(s)
\(\boldsymbol{\mu}_{\boldsymbol{o}}\): Viscosity of Suspending Medium (cP)
\(\varnothing\): Volume Fraction (fraction)
\(\boldsymbol{\mu}_{\mathbf{1}}\): Viscosity of Disperse Phase \((\mathrm{cP})\)
Output(s)
\(\boldsymbol{\mu}_{\text {eff }}\): Effective Viscosity (cP)
Formula(s)
\[
\mu_{\mathrm{eff}}=\mu_{\mathrm{o}} *\left(1+\left(\frac{\mu_{\mathrm{o}}+\frac{5}{2} * \mu_{1}}{\mu_{\mathrm{o}}+\mu_{1}}\right) * \phi\right)
\]
