Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.10CP
A popular gravity-driven instrument is the Cannon-Ubbelohde viscometer, shown in Fig. C1.10. The test liquid is drawn up above the bulb on the right side and allowed to drain by gravity through the capillary tube below the bulb. The time t for the meniscus to pass from upper to lower timing marks is recorded. The kinematic viscosity is computed by the simple formula: v = Ct where C is a calibration constant. For v in the range of 10U-50U mm2/s, the recommended constant is C = 0.50 mm2/s2, with an accuracy less than 0.5 percent.
(a) What liquids from Table A.3 arc in this viscosity range? (b) Is the calibration formula dimensionally consistent? (c) What system properties might the constant C depend upon? (d) What problem in this chapter hints at a formula for estimating the viscosity?

For the capillary-tube viscometer shown, the liquid to be tested is drawn into the
tube to the level of the top etched line. The time is then obtained for the liquid to
drain to the bottom etched line. The kinematic viscosity, v, in m?/s is then
obtained from the equation v = KR*t where K is a constant, R is the radius of
the capillary tube in mm, and tis the drain time in seconds. When glycerin, whose
viscosity is 1.4 Pa.s at 20°C and density is 260 kg/m³, is used as a calibration
fluid in a particular viscometer the drain time is
density of 970 kg/m3 is tested in the same viscometer the drain time is 900 s.
