ENGINEERING A VIBRATIONAL METHOD FOR PRECISE VISCOSITY MEASUREMENT
Azeez Abdullahi , Department of Physics, University of Africa, Toru-orua, Bayelsa State, NigeriaAbstract
Accurate viscosity measurement is crucial in various industrial and scientific applications, ranging from pharmaceuticals to materials engineering. This project focuses on the development of a novel viscosity measuring device using vibrational techniques. By leveraging the principles of vibration analysis, the device promises enhanced precision and reliability compared to traditional methods. The design integrates advanced sensors and signal processing algorithms to interpret the vibrational response of fluids, correlating it directly with viscosity values. This abstract outlines the methodology, experimental setup, and initial results demonstrating the feasibility and effectiveness of the vibrational approach. The potential applications of this technology in quality control, process optimization, and scientific research underscore its significance in advancing viscosity measurement methodologies.
