Normal plasma behaves like a Newtonian fluid at rates of shear. Typical values for the viscosity of normal human plasma at 37°C is 1.2Nsm-2. The viscosity of normal plasma varies with temperature in just the same way as does that of its solvent water, a 5°C increase of temperature in the physiological range reduces plasma viscosity by about 10%.

Is blood nano fluid?

Blood can be considered a non-Newtonian fluid rather than a nano fluid. Non-Newtonian fluids have varying viscosity under different flow conditions, which is true for blood due to its complex composition of cells, plasma, and proteins. While blood contains components at the microscopic level, it does not fit the specific definition of a nano fluid, which typically refers to fluids with nanoparticles suspended within them.
