The relationship between shear rate and viscosity?

Shear rate and viscosity are related to each other. According to shear rate and viscosity we can classifying the materials especially paints. Fluids are divided into two types like 1.NEWNONION FLUIDS and 2.NON NWETONINON FLUIDS based on shear rate and viscosity. In fluids if there no change in viscosity with respective shear rate, such type fluids are known as nwetonion fluids. Viscosity changes with respective shear rate such type of fluids are known as non nwetonion fluids.


Various drilling mud have the same apparent viscosity at 1022sec-1 but the effective viscosity at other shear rates may vary widely Explain?

Drilling mud is a nonnewtonian fluid. It's a thixotropic fluid and it's apparent viscosity is a function of shear rate and time so at various shear rate and times you will have various viscosities. The molecular structure of these fluids breaks during tention.For further informations you can refer to rheology or fluid mechanics books.

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.

Do fluids exert friction?

Certain fluids, especially liquids, do exert internal friction. This property of the fluid is called viscosity. Rheology is known as the study of viscosity.

What is the difference between fluid viscosity?

Some fluids are more denser than other fluids. For example, shampoo is more denser than Ketchup or oil or water. Therefore, it has a higher viscosity! The thick/denser/sticker a fluid is the higher the concentrtation of viscosity. Here is a range of some fluids put from high viscosity to low concentration of viscosity: 1: Shampoo 2: Ketchup 3: Corn oil 4: Water Water has a really low concentration of viscosity.


What is co-efficient of viscosity?

A measure of a fluids resistance to flow. For more information please see the wikipedia article about viscosity.
