How does silica content and viscosity effect igneous rocks?
As silica content increases viscosity increases.
Why is viscosity useful?
Technology design involve a knowledge of the flowing properties of materials. Viscosity is dependent on temperature and pressure.
What does increased blood viscosity mean?
Yes. As the blood increases in viscosity, the heart is required to increase the amount of pressure it takes to push the blood through the vasculature; thus the blood pressure increases
What element has the greatest effect on magma characteristics?
The percentage of silicon in magma greatly affects its viscosity.
How does viscosity of water vary with pressure?
As with pretty much all liquids, the viscosity of water at a constant temperature increases with increasing pressure. Since the pressure squeezes the molecules closer together this is to be expected. See the related link below for some actual values for this phenomenon.
What is the effect of dilution on viscosity of oil?
dilution will reduce the viscosity The effect of dilution on viscosity of oil is that it will decrease.
If you increase density of liquid the effect on viscosity is?
The viscosity of the liquid will increase.
What is the effect of temperature on the viscosity of gases?
For liquids; Viscosity tends to fall as temperature increases. For gas; Viscosity increases as temperature increases.
Does water viscosity changes with pressure?
yes
Explain the effect of pressure and temperature on viscosity?
In general, viscosity increases with pressure because the molecules become more tightly packed and interfere with each other.Keeping in mind that pressure is force/area, the effect of "force" on viscosity is a bitambiguous. The effect of pressure is already mentioned. The effect of forces incident to flow can vary however. In most fluids, flow does not alter viscosity. Some fluids, however, are shear thickening and others are shear thinning. Shear thickening behavior occurs when a colloidal suspension transitions from a stable state to a state of flocculation. A common example of this is a mixture of corn starch with water. You can pour a mixture of this into your palm and when you start rubbing your hands together, it will roll into a ball. As soon as you remove the shear force from it however, it will flow back into a less viscous puddle in your hand.Shear thinning occurs when the forces incident to flow cause the fluid to become less viscous. An example of this is a mixture with long chain polymer molecules which are entangled before it starts flowing, but once flow begins, the molecules disentangle, line up in the direction of flow and begin to slide past each other in parallel flow - with less friction and consequently decreased viscosity.
How does silica content and viscosity effect igneous rocks?
As silica content increases viscosity increases.
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.
Why is viscosity useful?
Technology design involve a knowledge of the flowing properties of materials. Viscosity is dependent on temperature and pressure.
What two things cause the viscosity of magma?
Silica and pressure
What affects viscosity?
temperature, pressure and force, and molecular strucuture
Does temperature effect on viscosity?
Yes, but the precise nature of that effect depends on the material and is not necessarily linear.
What does increased blood viscosity mean?
Yes. As the blood increases in viscosity, the heart is required to increase the amount of pressure it takes to push the blood through the vasculature; thus the blood pressure increases
