Question : A Glass-bottle is formed at 690 C(at softening point) with a viscosity = 10^7 P. If the activation energy for viscous deformation is 490 kJ/mol, calculate the annealing temperature with a viscosity = 10^13 P. Note k=8.314 J/mol k
From Arrhenius Equation:
.......EQ1
where, are the viscosities at temperature and the reference viscosity respectively,
with and
So for annealing temperature, , viscosity will be given by EQ1, as
........EQ2
Similarly, for temperature, , viscosity will be given by EQ1, as
........EQ3
Dividing EQ2 by EQ3 we get,
Substituting values we get,
