Description

The colored smoke trails from jet planes are generated by volatilizing colored smoke oils with hot exhaust gases from the jet engines. The colored smoke oil is a slurry, which is a mixture of selected dye with petroleum base oil.<br>The colored smoke oil is a non-Newtonian fluid subject to the following power law.<br>S=η'Dn (1)<br>where S is the shearing stress, D the rate of shear, η' the consistency index, and n the flow-behavior index.<br>The following experimental equations were derived at low rates of shear.<br>η'=η0exp(kC) (k>0) (2)<br>n=exp(-k'C) (k'>0) (3)<br>where η0 is the viscosity of the base oil, C is the concentration of the dye, and k and k' are the constants characteristic to the kinds of dyes.
