What are factors that affect viscosity and flow?
Pressure and temperature are the two factors that affect flow and viscosity. Viscosity refers to the resistance of a liquid to the shear forces.
What causes viscosity to increases and decrease?
Blood carries white blood cells, red blood cells, hormones and other substances. Internal friction within in the blood (viscosity) is caused by the percentage of these cells in the blood. A higher percentage of cells in the blood means the viscosity is higher. Red blood cells are the hematocrit. When the hematocrit is decreased such as occurs with anemia, the viscosity of the blood is decreased.
How does surface tension and viscosity affect the flow of liquids?
Viscosity is the resistance of flow and surface tension is the lateral force of the bonds between the molecules
Velocity of blood flow decreases if?
Viscosity increases
What are blood-viscosity reducing drugs?
Blood-viscosity reducing drugs are medicines that improve blood flow by making the blood less viscous (sticky).
What decreases peripheral resistance to blood flow?
Vasodilation and decreasing blood viscosity
What would decreased peripheral resistance to blood flow?
Vasodilation and decreasing blood viscosity
How does the thickness of lava affect nature?
Its viscosity affects the speed of its flow. If it had a low viscosity, then its flow would be much faster and hence more menacing to the environment.
What has the most important effect on blood velocity?
Blood viscosity is the most important efect on blood velocity. Viscosity meaning how thin or thick the blood is. Velocity meaning the flow of blood. If the blood is too thick it's velocity will be slow. If the blood is thin, the blood will flow faster.
How does viscosity affect fluid?
The higher the viscosity, the less it will flow..so something like water has a low viscosity, and something like custard has a high viscosity :)hope i helped xx
What affects the speed of lava flows?
The temperature and the silica content will both affect the viscosity of lave which will in turn affect the flow rate (whereby the lower the temperature and the higher the silica content, the higher the viscosity and the lower the flow rate).
Blood pressure can be affected by a vessel diameter b blood viscosity c turbulence uneven flow of blood due irregular surface of inner blood vessel wall?
Blood Pressure can be affected by all three factors. If the vessel diameter increases (vasodilation) Blood Pressure can be lowered. Blood Viscosity can also have an affect on blood pressure, the more viscous (thicker) the blood is, the slower it will flow through the body. Finally, irregular surfaces of the blood vessel wall can cause them to catch or become stuck, which ultimately slows blood flow, reducing blood pressure!
