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 relationship between viscosity and refractive index?
refractive index is equals to squarroot of relative permitivity
What is the viscosity of liquids?
viscosity is one of the properties of liquids ans is associated with flow of water.defination:viscosity is defined as the force of friction between two layers of liquids moving past one another with different velocities
What is the difference between an absolute weight and a relative weight?
Absolute- Actual Age of a rock Relative- The age of something compared to other things Relative age does not tell how old something is but tells us in what order events have happened relative- the age of a rock or fossil compared to the surrounding rocks and fossil
What is the difference between relative exposure and log relative exposure?
ssd
What is the difference between a suspending agent and a viscosity enhancing agent?
A viscosity enhancing agent basically thickens the fluid. However; a suspending agent performs two functions, one is that of a viscosity enhancing agent, secondly forming a film around the particle and decreasing interparticle attraction.
What is the relationship between viscosity and refractive index?
refractive index is equals to squarroot of relative permitivity
What is the force called between liquid particles?
viscosity. Viscosity is the inherent force of a liquid which opposes the relative movement between layers of the said liquid.
What is the relation between viscosity and flow-ability of a material?
The higher the viscosity, the lower the flow-ability of a material.(Viscosity=internal resistance to flow)
What is the relation between viscosity and flow ability of a material?
The higher the viscosity, the lower the flow-ability of a material.(Viscosity=internal resistance to flow)
What is difference between relative and absolute age?
In terms of geology, Relative Age is the age of an object in relation to the ages of other objects. Layers of rock, called strata, show the order of events that took place in the past and Absolute Age is the numerical age of an object or event.
What is the relation between the viscosity and chemistry?
Viscosity is the thickness of a substance; how easily it flows. Molasses> very viscous Water-> not so viscous
What is the difference between absolute variation and relative variation?
relative change is a proprotional change where absolute change is a complete change.........
The difference between absolute and relative location?
absolute location is the exact place and relative location is were the place is related to something else.
What is the difference between viscosity and gravity?
Viscosity is how slowly a fluid will move or pour at specified temperature. Specific Gravity is how heavy it is in relation to its volume.
What is the relation between viscosity and density of a liquid?
Both are indirectly related through temperature. When temperature increases both viscosity and density increases.
What is the difference between absolute income and relative income?
Relative income measures your income in relation to other members of society, weighing it against the standards of the day. Absolute income, meanwhile, does not take into consideration those other factors, but simply reflects the total amount of earnings you have received in a given period.
What is the difference between the relative age and absolute age of rocks?
Relative age is the age of a rock relative to the rock layers around it, absolute age is a rock's exact age.
