Changing viscosity of water
Changing viscosity of water
(OP)
What is the best way to control the viscosity of water.
I only want to change it a small amount, as I am using water to simulate some of the properties of milk.
I am planning on doing a sensitivity type study using a range of viscosities to determine the effect.
The additive to control viscosity would be required to be non foaming, as the process involves two phase flow, and also able to be used in food grade applications.
Anyones help would be much appreciated

starch
PVA (poly vinyl alcohol)
(both food grades are available)
If you need, I write some other of these polymers.
