Predicting viscosity of emulsions in the broad range of inner phase concentrations

Three new equations for predicting viscosity of emulsions were proposed. For each of these correlations a separate range of applicability dependent on the concentration of emulsions was determined. The viscous properties of emulsions could be calculated using the proposed equations on the basis of the following parameters: volume fraction and droplet size of the inner phase, viscosity and density of the outer phase and also of the shear rate in the case of concentrated dispersions.
