A fluid resistance to flow?
A fluid's resistance to flow is called viscosity.
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.
What is the relationship of internal friction and viscosity?
yes
Which has a lower viscosity milk or honey?
Milk..... Viscosity is the thickness of fluid. The thinner it is the less Viscosity it has
Difference between dynamic and kinematic viscosity?
dynamic viscosity is the quantitative expression of fluid's resistance,while kinematic viscosity is the ratio of fluid viscous force to inertial force.
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.
How does a thickness of a fluid compare to its viscosity?
The more thick the substance is, the higher the viscosity.
A fluid resistance to flow?
A fluid's resistance to flow is called viscosity.
A fluid resistance to flow is called?
A fluid's resistance to flow is called its viscosity.
What is the relationship between viscosity and internal friction?
Viscosity is a measure of the resistance of a fluid which is being deformed by either shear stress or tensile stress. In everyday terms (and for fluids only), viscosity is "thickness" or "internal friction". Thus, water is "thin", having a lower viscosity, while honey is "thick", having a higher viscosity. Put simply, the less viscous the fluid is, the greater its ease of movement (fluidity).
What common technique is used to change the viscosity of a fluid?
Fluid viscosity can be changed by several methods so the answer is it depends on the application. For most fluids, viscosity is a function of temperature so increasing temperature can reduce the viscosity. Fluids can also be diluted with a solvent. Examples would be honey and water or paint and paint thinner. Fluid viscosity is also a function of the length of the molecules that form your fluid. An example would be long carbon chain molecules that can be chemically broken and therefore shortened thus reducing the viscosity of the fluid. I'm sure there are other methods but hopefully one of these will be of value.
Viscosity less than honey?
If something has a greater viscosity, it becomes more 'runny' compared to its original state when heated up. The greater the change from thick to runny = the greater the viscosity. So honey has a greater viscosity than water for example.
What is the definition of viscosity?
Viscosity is a fluid's resistance to flow. Fluids becomes less viscous as the liquid's temperature increases, becoming more viscous as the fluid gets cooler. A viscous fluid is sticky, thick and syrupy to a greater or lesser extent. Examples Treacle is quite viscous, but water is not. Hot engine oil is less viscous ('thinner') and runs more quickly and smoothly than cold engine oil.
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 an increase in silica increase the viscosity of magma?
Yes. Viscosity is the resistance of a fluid to flowing. A high viscosity means low flowing (I specifically mention this because this is a huge pitfall) When silica content increases, and when temperature decreases, the viscosity of a magma increases along with it.
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
