The viscosity of suspensions Einstein showed that single particles increased the viscosity of a liquid (n)as a simple function of their phase volume () 7=7,(1+2.5p) There is no effect of particle size,nor of particle position, because the theory neglects the effects of other particles. This equation works for <10%The viscosity of suspensions Einstein showed that single particles increased the viscosity of a liquid (s) as a simple function of their phase volume (),   s1 2.5 There is no effect of particle size, nor of particle position, because the theory neglects the effects of other particles. This equation works for  < 10%
