What value of angle Φ is between the plate and cone in Cone-and-Plate viscometer?(a) More than 3°(b) Less than 3°(c) More than 2°(d) More than 5°I had been asked this question during a job interview.This intriguing question comes from Viscosity Measurement in section Fluid Flow and Mixing of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer»

Right answer is (b) LESS than 3°

Best explanation: The angle Φ between the plate and cone is very small, usually less than 3°, and the FLUID to be measured is located in this small gap. Large cone angles are not used for ROUTINE work for a VARIETY of reasons, the most important being that analysis of the results for non-Newtonian fluids WOULD be complex or impossible.
