THANK YOU:
Rheology is the science that study flow of fluids. Viscosity is the main parameter of flow. Newtonian & non newtonian are the two types of flow behavior according to newtons law of flow. non-newtonian flow can be plastic, pseudoplastic, dilatant, thixotropic, antithixotropic or rheopexy. viscosity can be determined by using various viscometers such as capillary viscometer, cup & bob viscometer, cone & plate viscometer, falling sphere viscometer, brookfield viscometer, etc. factors affeting viscosity are intrinsic, extrinsic or temperature dependence.

Rheology is the investigation of the progression of issue, fundamentally in a fluid state, yet in addition as "delicate solids" or solids under conditions in which they react with plastic stream as opposed to distorting flexibly because of an applied power. Rheology is the study of misshapening and stream inside a material.
Ideal fluid:
a fluid with no friction
Also referred to as an inviscid (zero viscosity) fluid
Internal forces at any section within are normal (pressure forces)
Practical applications: many flows approximate frictionless flow away from solid boundaries.
Real Fluids
Tangential or shearing forces always develop where there is motion relative to solid body
Thus, fluid friction is created
Shear forces oppose motion of one particle past another
Friction forces gives rise to a fluid property called viscosity

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

4. DEFINITION OF RHEOLOGY
Rheology is the science/physics that concerns with the flow of
liquids and the deformation of solids.
Study of flow properties of liquids is important for pharmacist
working in the manufacture of several dosage forms, viz., simple
liquids, gels, ointments, creams, and pastes.
These systems change their flow behavior when exposed to
different stress conditions.

5. IMPORTANCE & FUNDAMENTALS
Formulation of medicinal and cosmetic creams, pastes and lotions.
Formulation of emulsions, suspensions, suppositories, and tablet
coating.
Fluidity of solutions for injection.
In mixing and flow of materials, their packaging into the containers,
their removal prior to use, the pouring from the bottle.
Extrusion of a paste from a tube .
Passage of the liquid to a syringe needle.
Influence the choice of processing equipments in the pharmaceutical
system. 5

6. • Can affect the patient’s acceptability of the product, physical stability,
biologic availability, absorption rate of drugs in the gastrointestinal
tract.
• Manufacturing of dosage forms: Materials undergo process such as
mixing, flowing through pipes, filling into the containers etc. Flow
related changes influence the selection of mixing equipment.
• Handling of drugs for administration: The syringibility of the
medicines, the pouring of the liquids from containers, extrusion of
ointment from tubes, all depend on the changes in flow behavior of
dosage forms.

7. NEWTONS LAW
According to NEWTONS LAW higher the
viscosity of a liquid, the greater is the force per
unit area (shearing stress F) required to produce a
certain rate of shear( G).
rate of shear α shearing stress
F= ῃ G
Where
F= F’/ A
G= dv/ dr
ῃ= viscosity
7
21-Feb-16
9. NEWTONIAN FLOW:
A Newtonian fluid (named for Isaac Newton) is a fluid whose stress
versus rate of shear curve is linear and passes through the origin. The
constant of proportionality is known as the viscosity.
Examples :
Water,
chloroform,
Castor oil,
ethyl Alcohol etc.
9
21-Feb-16
10. VISCOSITY
It is defined as resistance to the flow.
ῃ is the coefficient of viscosity. And is calculated
as
ῃ=F/ G
Where F= Shearing stress
G= Rate of shear
o Unit of viscosity is Poise or dyne.sec/cm2.
10
21-Feb-16
11. NON NEWTONIAN FLOW
• A non newtonian flow is defined as one for which the relation
between F and S is not linear.
• In other words when the shear rate is varied, the shear stress is not
varied in the same proportion. The viscosity of such a system thus
varies as the shearing stress varies.
• It can be seen in liquids and in solid heterogeneous dispersions
such as emulsions, suspensions, colloids and ointments.
11
21-Feb-16
13. PLASTIC FLOW:
• In which curve does not pass through the origin, the substance behaves
initially
• Elastic body and it fails to flow when less amount of stress is applied.
• As increase the stress, leads to non-linear increase in shear rate but after that
curve is linear.
• The linear portion extrapolated intersects the x axis at the point called as
yield value
So, plastic flow shows Newtonian flow above the yield value.
13
21-Feb-16
14. •The curve represents plastic flow, such materials are called as Bingham
bodies.
•Bingham bodies does not flow until the shearing stress is corresponding to
yield Value exceeded.
•So, yield value is important property of certain dispersions.
•The reciprocal of mobility is Plastic viscosity
EXAMPLES: ZnO in mineral oil, certain pastes , paints and ointments.

17. The equation describing plastic flow is,
Where,
f = Yield value

G = Rate of shear
U = F – f / G

18. PSEUDO PLASTIC FLOW
Many P’ceutical products liquid dispersion of natural and synthetic
gums shows pseudo plastic flow.
eg. 1. Tragacanth in water
2. Sod. Alginate in water
3. Methyl cellulose in water
4. Sodium CMC in water
18
21-Feb-16
19. • With increase in the shearing stress the disarranged molecules
orient themselves in the direction of flow, thus reducing friction
and allows a greater rate of shear at each shearing stress.
• Some of the solvent associated will be released resulting in
decreased viscosity.
• This type of flow behavior is also called as shear thinning
system.
19
21-Feb-16
20. Graph for pseudo plastic flow is like this
In which curve is passing from origin (Zero shear stress), so no yield
value is Obtained.
As shear stress increases, shear rate increases but not
linear.

21. Pseudo plastic flow can be explained by Long chain
molecules of polymer.
In storage condition, arrange randomly in dispersion.
Water
Stress

Polymer & water molecules
align on direction of force
21
21-Feb-16
22. On applying F/A, shearing stress molecules ( water &
polymer) arrange long axis in the direction of force applied.
This stress reduces internal resistance & solvent molecules
released form polymer molecules.
Then reduce the concentration and size of molecules with
decrease in viscosity.
22
21-Feb-16
23. The exponential equation shows this flow
N = no. of given exponent
η = Viscosity coefficient
In case of pseudo plastic flow, N > 1.
i.e. More N >1, the greater pseudo plastic flow of material.
If N = 1, the flow is Newtonian.
FN = η G
23
21-Feb-16
24. Taking Log on both sides,
i.e.
On rearrangement, we get
This equation gives straight line,
N log F = log η + log G
log G = N log F - log η
24
21-Feb-16
25. DILATANT FLOW
Certain suspensions with high % of dispersed solids shows an
increase in resistance to flow with increasing rates of shear, such
system increase in volume when sheared, such system called as
dilatant flow.
Also, called as “ Shear thickening system” i.e. when stress is
removed, dilatant system return to its original position
25
21-Feb-16
26. Graph for dilatant flow is like this
In which curve is passing from origin (Zero shear stress), so no yield
value is Obtained.
Non-linear increase in rate of shear.
Increase resistance to flow on increase rate of shear
Shearing stress, F
Rate of shear, G

27. In which, particles are closely packed with less voids spaces,
also amount of vehicle is sufficient to fill the void volume.
This leads particles to move relative to one another at low rate of shear.
At rest close packed Less
void volume Sufficient
vehicle Low consistency
Open packed High void
volume Insufficient
vehicle High
consistency
Increase rate of
shear
27
21-Feb-16
28. So therefore, dilatant suspension can be poured from bottle because in these
condition it is fluid.
When stress is increased, the particles shows the open packing and bulk of
system (void volume is increase) is increased.
But the amount of vehicle is insufficient to fill this void space.
Thus particles are not wetted or lubricated and develop resistance to flow.
Finally system show the paste like consistency.
28
21-Feb-16
29. Because of this type of behavior, the dilatant suspension can be
process by high speed mixers, blenders or mills.
The exponential equation shows this flow
N = no. of given exponent
η = Viscosity coefficient
In which N < 1, and decrease as the dilatancy increase.
If N = 1, the system is Newtonian flow
FN = η G

30. THIXOTROPHY (GEL-SOL-GEL)
It is defined as, isothermal and comparatively slow recovery on standing of
material of a consistency lost through shearing.
It is shear thinning system, when agitated and kept aside it is expected to
return its original state of fluidity, but takes longer time to recover
compared to the time taken for agitation.
Thixotropic behavior can be shown by plastic and pseudo plastic system.

Rate at which shear increased or decreased.
Length of time during which sample is subjected to any one rate of
shear.
32
21-Feb-16
33. The thixotrophy phenomena can be
observed by constructing
consistency curves.
From the graph up curve ab is
obtained, up to maximum point b.
If the rate of shear is reduced,
then down curve bc is obtained.
In Non-Newtonian system, the
down curve is displaced to left of
the up curve.
In this graph, the material has low
consistency at any rate of shear on
down curve compared to that
shown on up curve.

Anti-thixotrophy represents an increase in consistency (high viscosity) rather
decrease in consistency in the down curve.
The increase in thickness or resistance to flow with increase time of shear
observed for (magnesia magma).
Anti – thixotrophy is flocculated system containing low solid content ( 1 – 10
%).
Dilatancy system is deflocculated system containing solid content ( > 50 %).

Rheopexy is phenomena in which a sol forms a gel more readily
when shaken or sheared than when allow to form the gel while the
material is kept at rest.
e.g. Magnesia magma, Clay suspension
In rheopectic system, the gel is the equilibrium state.
In anti – thixotropic system, the sol is the equilibrium state.

38. MEASUREMENT OF THIXOTROPHY
The most apparent characteristics of thixotropic system is the Hysteresis
loop formed by up curve & down curves of the rheograms.
The area of Hysteresis loop has been used to measure the thixotropic
breakdown and can be obtained by means of Planimeter.
With plastic ( Bingham ) bodies; two approaches are used to estimate
degree of thixotrophy.

42. SINGLE POINT VISCOMETERS
Ostwald viscometer (Capillary)
The Ostwald viscometer is used to
determine the viscosity of Newtonian
fluid.
The viscosity of Newtonian fluid is
determined by measuring time required
for the fluid to pass between two marks.
42
21-Feb-16
43. Principle: When a liquid flows by gravity, the time required for
the liquid to pass between two marks ( A & B) through the
vertical capillary tube. the time of flow of the liquid under test
is compared with time required for a liquid of known viscosity
(Water).
Therefore, the viscosity of unknown liquid
(η1
) can be determined by using following
equation:
eq.1
43
21-Feb-16
44. Where,
ρ1 = density of unknown liquid
ρ2 = density of known liquid
t1 = time of flow for unknown liquid
t2 = time of flow for known liquid
η2
= viscosity of known liquid
Eq. 1 is based on the Poiseuille’s law express the following relationship
for the flow of liquid through the capillary viscometer.
Where,
r = radius of capillary, t = time of flow, Δ P = pressure head dyne/cm2 ,
l = length of capillary cm, V = volume of liquid flowing, cm3
η = П r2 t Δ P / 8 l V Eq:2
44
21-Feb-16
45. For a given Ostwald viscometers, the r, V and l are combine into constant (K),
then eq. 2 can be written as,
In which,
The pressure head ΔP ( shear stress) depends on the density of liquid being
measured, acceleration due to gravity (g) and difference in heights of liquid
in viscometers.
Acceleration of gravity is constant, & if the levels in capillary are kept constant
for all liquids,
η = KtΔP Eq.3
45
21-Feb-16
46. If these constants are incorporate into the eq. 3 then,
viscosity of liquids may be expressed as:
On division of eq. 4 and 5 gives the eq .1, which is given in
the principle,
η1 = K’t1 ρ1 eq. 4
η2 = K’t2 ρ2 eq. 5
46
21-Feb-16
47. Equation.6, may be used to determine the relative and
absolute viscosity of liquid.
This viscometer, gives only mean value of
viscosity because one value of pressure head is
possible.
Ostwald viscometer is used for highly
viscous fluid i.e. Methyl cellulose
Dispersions
47
21-Feb-16
48. FALLING SPHERE VISCOMETERS
It is called as Hoeppler falling sphere viscometers.
Principle: A glass or ball rolls down in vertical glass tube
containing the test liquid at a known constant temperature. The rate at
which the ball of particular density and diameter falls is an inverse
function of viscosity of sample.
Construction:
Glass tube position vertically.
Constant temperature jacket
with Water circulation around
glass tube
48
21-Feb-16
49. Working: A glass or steel ball is dropped into the liquid & allowed to reach
equilibrium with temprature of outer jacket. The tube with jacket is then
inverted so that, ball at top of the inner glass tube. the time taken by the ball
to fall between two marks is measured, repeated process for several times to
get concurrent results. For better results select ball which takes NLT 30 sec.
to fall between two marks.
Where,
t = time in sec.for ball to fall between two marks
Sb & Sf = Specific gravities of ball and fluid under
examination.
B = Constant for particular ball.
η = t ( Sb – Sf ) B

50. MULTI POINT VISCOMETERS
(ROTATIONAL)
Cup and Bob
Various instruments are available, differ mainly whether
torque results from rotation of cup or bob.
Couette type viscometers: Cup is rotated, the viscous drag on the bob
due to sample causes to turn. The torque is proportional to viscosity of
sample.
Ex. McMichael viscometer
50
21-Feb-16
51. Searle type viscometers: Bob is rotated, the torque resulting from the
viscous drag of the system under examination is measured by spring or
sensor in the drive to the bob.
Ex. Stormer viscometer
Working: The test sample is place in space between cup and bob & allow
to reach temperature equilibrium. A weight is place in hanger and record
the time to make 100 rotations by bob, convert this data to rpm. This
value represents the shear rate, same procedure repeated by increasing
weight.

52. So then plotted the rheogram rpm Vs weights the rpm values
converted to actual rate of shear and weight converted into
units of shear stress, dy/cm2 by using appropriate constants.
Mathematical treatment:
For, rotational viscometers, the relationship can be expressed as,
η = Kv w/v
where
v, rpm generated by weight w, in gm
Kv is obtained by analyzing material of known viscosity in poise.

53. Cone and plate viscometer (Rotational viscometer)
Principle: The sample is placed on at the
center of the plate, which is raised into
the position under the cone.
The cone is driven by variable speed
motor and sample is sheared in the narrow
gap between stationary plate and rotating cone.
Rate of shear in rpm is increased & decrease by selector dial and
viscous traction or torque (shearing stress) produced on the
cone.

54. Viscosity for Newtonian system can be estimated by,
Where,
C = Instrument constant,
T = Torque reading & V = Speed of the cone (rpm)
Plastic viscosity determined by,
Yield value (f) = Cf × Tf
Tf = Torque at shearing stress axis (extrapolate from linear
portion of curve). Cf = Instrument constant
η = C T/V eq.1
U = Cf T – Tf / v eq.2

55. PHARMACEUTICALAPPLICATIONS
1. The viscosity of creams and lotions may affect the rate of absorption of the
products by the skin.
2. A greater release of active ingredients is generally possible from the softer,
less viscous bases.
3. The viscosity of semi-solid products may affect absorption of these topical
products due to the effect of viscosity on the rate of diffusion of the active
ingredients.
4. The rate of absorption of an ordinary suspension differs from thixotropic
suspension.
5. Thixotropy is useful in the formulation of pharmaceutical suspensions and
emulsions. They must be poured easily from containers (low viscosity)
