Processing a Brookfield Rotational Viscometer Measurement Results in the MATLAB

Article Preview

Abstract:

The Brookfield_to_MATLAB and ViscosityApproximation codes for processing of experiments results for determination of viscosity on a rotational Brookfield DV3T viscometer is developed in the MATLAB. The codes allow to carry out automatic capture data, to calculate the shear rate for standard spindles RV-1 ... RV-7, to sort the measurement results on temperatures, to combine the experimental data and to determine the coefficients of the Andrade type power-law model. Paper describes experiment results on determination of viscosity of the epoxy binder reinforced by short carbon fibers. The coefficients of the viscosity model are determined by the linear regression coefficients. The obtained determination coefficient shows a good agreement of the model with the experimental data. The results are used for study various contents of a mass fraction of fibers: 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%.
