Viscosity of liquid Fe at high pressure
نویسندگان
چکیده
Synchrotron x-ray radiography has been used to measure the viscosity of pure liquid Fe at high pressure and temperature in a large volume press. A probe sphere rising through liquid Fe at high pressure and temperature is imaged, in situ, allowing for the derivation of sample viscosity through a modified form of Stokes’ equation. The effect of pressure on viscosity is fit by the semi empirical framework for transport coefficients in liquid metals, providing experimental verification of constant viscosity at the pressure-dependent melting temperature of liquid Fe where no change in liquid structure occurs.

Sound Wave Propagation in Viscous Liquid-Filled Non-Rigid Carbon Nanotube with Finite Length
In this paper, numerical results obtained and explained from an exact formula in relation to sound pressure load due to the presence of liquid inside the finite-length non-rigid carbon nanotubes (CNTs), which is coupled with the dynamic equations of motion for the CNT. To demonstrate the accuracy of this work, the obtained formula has been compared to what has been used by other research...
متن کاملTowards evaluating the viscosity of the Earth’s outer core: An experimental high pressure study of liquid Fe-S (8.5 wt.% S)
[1] In-situ high pressure viscosity measurements, using synchrotron X-ray radiography, have been carried out on liquid Fe-S (8.5 wt.% S) at pressures up to 6 GPa and at 1823 K. Here we show that (i) the effect of pressure on the isothermal viscosity is substantial, with an apparent activation volume of 5.8 cm/mol; and (ii) viscosity is constant along the pressure dependent melting boundary. Ass...
متن کاملFirst principles calculations on the diffusivity and viscosity of liquid Fe–S at experimentally accessible conditions
Ab initio molecular dynamics calculations, based upon density functional theory within the generalised gradient Ž . approximation GGA using ultrasoft non-norm conserving Vanderbilt pseudopotentials, have been used to predict the transport properties of liquid Fe–S. In order to compare our simulations with experimental data, the simulations were performed for the eutectic composition of Fe–S at ...
متن کاملThe effect of micro/nano-particles on pressure drop in Oil pipeline: Simulation
A high pressure drop happens when heavy oil with high viscosity moves through the oil pipeline. A variety of methods to avoid this pressure drop is available. One of which is injection of chemicals to reduce the viscosity and ultimately reduce pressure drop. Using the pipesim software, the effect of dispersion of nano and micro-particles into the oil has been simulated to study the amount of th...
