  1. A Novel laboratory scale pipe rheometry J. Salmela, S. Haavisto, J. Liukkonen A. Jäsberg and A. Koponen Technical Research Centre of Finland COST Action FP 1005, Nancy 13-14 October 2011

  2. COST Action FP 1005, Nancy 13-14 October 2011 Motivation / Goal • Characterize rheological behavior of Microfibrillated cellulose suspensions • Rheology and composition of Microfibrillated Cellulose (MFC) is very complex • Develop a well controlled flow environment • Reliable • Repeatable • Scalable • Low volumes • High dynamic and viscosity range • Allows flocculation

  3. COST Action FP 1005, Nancy 13-14 October 2011 Background • Rheology – a science of flow and deformation of matter • Most of traditional rheometers don’t work for flocculating or granular suspensions • In traditional rheology true velocity profile of the flow is not used • This is compensated by using assumptions

  4. COST Action FP 1005, Nancy 13-14 October 2011 Rheology in Pipe Flow: Methods

  5. COST Action FP 1005, Nancy 13-14 October 2011 Local viscosityUVP-PD + OCT Technique • Ultrasound Velocity Profiling, Optical Coherence Tomography and Pressure Difference US Probe UVP Z V OCT Z V x=at Target particle

  9. Maximum shear stress Local shear rate COST Action FP 1005, Nancy 13-14 October 2011 Local viscosityData analysis • Calculation of local viscosity Plug flow region Slip velocity Boundary layer Zero shearstress

  10. What we need to parameterize the whole velocity profile? Figure 6. Example of velocity profile and usability of different measurement methods. • Currentlyourgroupshaveacces to noninvasivemeasurementmethodsthatenablesdirectmeasurement of the wholevelocityprofile of dencesuspensions

  11. Whatwealreadyhave? • Floc size for different furnish and for different geometries • Minimum floc size (after sudden pipe expansion) • Location of minimum floc size (after sudden pipe expansion) • Reflocculation rate

  15. Whatweneed to do? • Definition of testgeometries • Suddenpipecontraction / expansion? • Validation of measurements and modelsusingwellknownfluids • Water • Carbopol? • Definition of suspensions • Birch • Pine • MFC? • Co-Operation

  16. Training school 2012 • Preliminary schedule • KTH • Boat trip to Finland and train to Jyväskylä  • Lectures • Professor Risto Myllylä (University of Oulu): Principles of Optical CoherenceTomography • Professor Markku Kataja (University of Jyväskylä): Use of X-Rayμ and nanoTomography to studystructure and flow in porous media • Hands on labtour: • Laboratoryscalepipe rheometry: Use of OCT and UDV • Optical measurementmethods: • High speed video imaging • Flocsizeevolutionmeasurements
