Abstract:
Previous investigators had found that an electric field would change the viscosity of some liquids. This paper deals with this effect of an electric field on the viscosity and some of the factors upon which it is dependent. A rotating cylinder type of viscosimeter was used, the two cylinders being insulated from each other and the potential applied between them. Several liquids were investigated, some polar and some nonpolar. Nonpolar liquids showed zero effect, while polar liquids showed effects which were dependent on their polar moment. Changes in viscosity up to 200 percent were measured using fields up to 2000 volts/cm. It was also found that the effect was dependent on the velocity gradient present in the liquid.
