    1. non-newtonian fluids. Newton's equation relates shear stress and velocity gradient by means of a quantity called viscosity. ... A non-newtonian fluid is one in which the viscosity is a function some mechanical variable like shear stress or time.

    1. Have students calculate the density of the fluid.
      Weigh the empty graduated cylinder.
      Fill the cylinder with fluid, and record the volume.
      Weigh the full graduated cylinder. Subtract the mass of the empty graduated cylinder to determine the mass of the fluid.
      The density of the fluid is the mass over the volume.

  4. what is the formula for Reynolds number?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. L is the length or diameter of the fluid. Reynolds number formula is used in the problems to find the Velocity (V), density ( ), Viscosity ( ) and diameter (L) of the fluid. It is dimensionless. If 2000 < Re < 4000 it is called transition.

  5. How is dynamic viscosity calculated?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. The units of dynamic viscosity are: Force / area x time The Pascal unit (Pa) is used to describe pressure or stress = force per area This unit can be combined with time (sec) to define dynamic viscosity. The kinematic viscosity can also be determined by dividing the dynamic viscosity by the fluid density.

  10. which instrument is used to measure viscosity?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Viscometer. A viscometer (also called viscosimeter) is an instrument used to measure the viscosity of a fluid. For liquids with viscosities which vary with flow conditions, an instrument called a rheometer is used.

  12. what is the unit of viscosity?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. The SI unit of kinematic viscosity is m2/s. The cgs physical unit for kinematic viscosity is the stokes (St), named after George Gabriel Stokes. It is sometimes expressed in terms of centistokes (cSt). In U.S. usage, stoke is sometimes used as the singular form.

  13. what are the factor that affect viscosity?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Fluid viscosity changes with temperature. Pressure has a small impact on gas viscosity and the pressure impact on the viscosity of a liquid is very small. When studying multiphase liquids (a mixture of gas, liquid and solids) there are other factors that come into play.

  14. what is the viscosity index?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Viscosity index (VI) is an arbitrary measure for the change of viscosity with variations in temperature. The lower the VI, the greater the change of viscosity of the oil with temperature and vice versa. It is used to characterize viscosity changes with relation to temperature in lubricating oil.

    1. Along with the shear rate, temperature really is the dominating influence. The higher the temperature is, the lower a substance's viscosity is. Consequently, decreasing temperature causes an increase in viscosity. .

  16. what is viscosity in a volcano?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. But most importantly, highly viscous lava is associated with explosive eruptions and dangerous pyroclastic flows. An example of a low viscosity (fast flowing) lava is basaltic lava. This flows quickly out of a volcano at a temperature of about 950 degrees Celsius.

  17. what factors determine the viscosity of lava?

    Replies
    1. Magmas that have a high silica content will therefore exhibit greater degrees of polymerization, and have higher viscosities, than those with low-silica contents. The amount of dissolved gases in the magma can also affect it's viscosity, but in a more ambiguous way than temperature and silica content.

  18. why the lubricant oils should be of high viscosity?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Viscosity is a measure of an oil's resistance to flow. It decreases (thins) with increasing temperature and increases (or thickens) with decreased temperature.

    1. Image result for what is a high viscosity?
      The viscosity of a fluid is a measure of its resistance to gradual deformation by shear stress or tensile stress. For liquids, it corresponds to the informal concept of "thickness"; for example, honey has a much higher viscosity than water.

    Replies
    1. Viscosity (a fluid's resistance to flow) is rated at 0° F (represented by the number preceding the "W" [for Winter]) and at 212° F (represented by the second number in the viscosity designation).
