“Everything flows…..”
Greek philosopher Heraclitus of Ephesus (536–470 BCE)
“Rheology is the study of the flow of materials that behave in an
interesting or unusual manner. Oil and water flow in familiar,
normal ways, whereas mayonnaise, peanut butter, chocolate,
bread dough, and Silly Putty flow in complex and unusual ways. In
rheology, we study the flows of unusual materials.”
Faith A. Morrison Michigan Technological University in Houghton
Study of how materials respond to applied stress or strain.
Ice cream and shortening are solid at one T and liquid at other T
Applesauce, tomato puree, baby food, soups, dressings, are
__________________ of solid in liquid
Milk, ice cream mix, are liquid droplets dispersed in another
liquid/fluid media, called as _______________________
Tomato paste is sometimes suspended in Xanthan gum to prevent
it from settling in water suspension.

Human eye can distinguish the difference in the viscosity in the
range of 100 – 10,000 cP. Beyond that the material appears to be
solid to human eye.
If μ is not constant, i.e., if it depends upon shear rate, then the
fluid is called as non-Newtonian.

At constant shear rate, the shear stress decreases with time.

Starch Viscosity
Rheological
behavior
of
starch
involves
it
viscosity,
elasticity
and
plasticity.
Soluble
solids
such
as
sugars
will
compete
with
water
to
absorb
water
and
viscosity
may
not
develop.
