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?

There is no direct relationship between viscosity and refractive index. Viscosity relates to the resistance of a fluid to flow, while refractive index is a measure of how much light bends as it passes through a substance. However, the refractive index of a substance may change with temperature, which can in turn affect its viscosity.


If a substance pours slowly it has a high?

viscosity


What is the term for the thickness of a liquid?

The term for the thickness of a liquid is viscosity. This property determines how easily the liquid flows and is influenced by factors such as temperature and composition. A high viscosity liquid is more resistant to flowing, while a low viscosity liquid flows more easily.


What information can be found in the viscosity tables?

Viscosity tables provide data on the viscosity of different substances at various temperatures. Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow, and the tables help in understanding how the viscosity of a substance changes with temperature.

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.


How do you spell ciscidity?

The closest words to this spelling are:acidity - relative pH or tartnessviscidity - thickness or adhesiveness (related to viscosity)


What is Einstein law of viscosity?

Einstein's law of viscosity is stated by the equation u = 1 + 2.5 (volume fraction of solid particles). This equation is only used to calculate the relative viscosity of a slurry of fine particles in low concentrations.

What are two substances with low viscosity?

Relative to engine oil, both ethanol (drinking alcohol) and water have low viscosity.


What does 30 means in 5w-30 engine oil?

The 5 and 30 refer to the relative viscosity of the oil when it is cold (5W) and when it is hot (30W). A 5W-30 oil behaves like a 5W thin viscosity oil when the engine is cold, and it behaves like a 30W thicker viscosity oil when the engine is hot. A very thin viscosity is undesirable in a hot engine. In very high temperature situations, an even higher viscosity range, up to 50W, might be called for. Always go by the engine manufacturers recommendations.


What is the difference between viscosity and viscosity index?

Viscosity is resistance to flow of oil Viscosity Index is a scale to measure viscosity

How does viscosity happen?

Viscosity doesn't happen. Viscosity is a measure of how easily a liquid flows.
