Abstract

The physical significance of the two parameters as suggested by Robinson was investigated using Newtonian and non-Newtonian suspensions of glass spheres. System mean for each parameter did not vary significantly among the different suspensions. The initial viscosity and density of the medium seem to have no effect on the value of the parameters. An empirical equation used by Oliver can be rearranged when k 1 = 0, into a form similar to Robinson's equation. Since Robinson's equation can thus be viewed as a special case of the equation used by Oliver, it seems unlikely that the parameters have the physical significance assigned to them by Robinson.
