Experimental Study Of Characteristics Rheological Of An Ionic Liquid

Authors : Soudani Youcef .

Abstract

Ionic liquids (IL) are a class of new solvents which have been increasingly used in a wide variety of applications in recent years due to an astonishing number of desirable properties. However, the rheological properties of ionic liquids have not been studied in detail, and there is currently confusion as to the choice of mathematical models for this type of fluid. To advance the current state of knowledge, a laboratory study was carried out to investigate constant shear viscosity. The flow characteristics of ionic liquid (1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium thiocyanate) were determined over a temperature range (20–60C) using the geometry of the coaxial cylinder using the Anton Paar MRC 302 Rheometer. finds that the Herschel-Bulkley model is more accurate in describing the flow properties of ionic liquid.
