Mooney's viscosity equation, originally proposed for concentrated solids in liquid suspensions, has been tested for stable liquid in liquid emulsions. Nine different emulsion systems have been considered. In none of the cases considered, Mooney's equation is found to adequately describe the viscosity/concentration behavior. However, the modified form of the Mooney's equation πr = exp[K 1π/(1βK 2π)]& is found to fit the data quite well. The K1 varies from 2.2 to 5.0 depending on the emulsion system; the K2 varies from 0.6 to 2.1.
