This is a multi-faceted question. In biological terms, fluids flow across selectively permeable membranes due to concentration gradients. The fluid will flow to the side witht he greater solute concentration (or osmolarity).

What is the difference between contra flow and parallel flow?

These terms are usually used in conjuction with fluid-fluid heat exchangers. In both cases, the two fluids in the exchanger are moving in parallel flowpaths with each other. In contraflow, the fluids move in opposite directions along those paths, so the two inlets are on opposite ends of the exchanger. In parallel flow, the fluids move in the same direction, so the inlets are on the same end.


What is vicosity in scence?

Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. It is determined by the internal friction within the fluid as its molecules move past each other. High-viscosity fluids like honey flow slowly, while low-viscosity fluids like water flow more easily.


Are gases and liquids fluids?

A fluid is any substance that can flow. Since liquids and both flow, they are fluids.
