Table 3. Dimensionless Numbers for the Carbopol Solution, at Different Inflation Ratesa.
| inflation rate, Q [mm3/s] | Re | Ca | Wi | Oh–2 | El | Ec |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 24 | 0.10 | 232 | |||
| 653 | 42 | 0.12 | 1.2 × 105 | 348 | 2.8 × 103 | 9.9 × 105 |
| 1062 | 45 | 0.12 | 1.3 × 105 | 364 | 2.7 × 103 | 1.0 × 106 |
| 1470 | 59 | 0.13 | 1.5 × 105 | 444 | 2.5 × 103 | 1.1 × 106 |
For Q = 0, Wi, El, Ec cannot be evaluated because of the ideally infinite relaxation time of the unyielded sample.
