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 affects the viscosity of a molten material?

The viscosity of a molten material is affected by factors such as temperature, composition, and any impurities present. Higher temperatures generally decrease viscosity, while certain elements can increase viscosity by forming strong chemical bonds. Impurities tend to disrupt the flow of the material, leading to higher viscosity.


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 SI unit of kinematic viscosity?

Kinematic viscosity is the ratio of dynamic viscosity to density of the fluid. The SI unit of the quantity is square meter per second (symbol m²/s). The most frequent used unit of kinematic viscosity is Centistokes (cSt). 1 Centistokes (cSt) is the kinematic viscosity of a fluid with dynamic viscosity of 1 cP and volumic mass 1 g/cm³.

How does viscosity happen?

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


How do you increase viscosity?

Viscosity is the resistance of a liquid to flow. When temperature decreases Viscosity generally increases. Viscosity generally decreases when the temperature increases.


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.
