How do you find absolute viscosity of fluid?
Measuring the viscosity of the liquid with different types of viscosimeters.The more correct word is dynamic viscosity.
Why viscosity important in fluid property?
Viscosity provides a resistance to a fluid being squirted out, say, between a crankshaft and a bearing journal under pressure. So measuring viscosity will be important for predicting how much protection a given fluid will provide.
Derive the relation between relative viscosity and absolute viscosity?
Relative Viscosity often refers to that of a Polymer Solution and is defined as the ratio of the viscosity of the solution to the pure solvent. It is calculated experimentally by measuring the time that it takes for the pure solvent to pass through a certain tube, in certain conditions , and comparing it with the time it takes for the solution to pass through the same tube, in the same condition. The term Apparent Viscosity is used when you calculate the viscosity of a non-Newtonian fluid by applying equations that are derived for the viscosity of a Newtonian fluid. So it is not the actual viscosity. I hope this answers your question.
What is the viscosity definitions?
Viscosity is a fluids resistance to flow. A high viscosity fluid would be thick, a low viscosity fluid would be thin.
Poise is measuring a unit for what?
Poise is a measuring unit of Viscosity.
A fluid resistance to flow?
A fluid's resistance to flow is called viscosity.
What is the unit for measuring poise?
Viscosity
A fluid resistance to flow is called?
A fluid's resistance to flow is called its viscosity.
Do all liquids flow very easily?
Runny depends on the viscosity of a fluid. if the viscosity is high( mayonaise) the fluid will not run as good as a fluid with low viscosity (water, honey)
Does density tie in with viscosity?
Fluid behavior is related to both density and viscosity. By using the kinematic and dynamic viscosity of a fluid, the density can be calculated.
Define inviscid fluid?
a fluid which has no viscosity
What is the viscosity of a fluid?
resistance to fluid flow.
