The fluid flow rate is typically highest at lower viscosity levels. This is because fluids with low viscosity flow more easily and encounter less resistance, allowing for faster flow rates compared to fluids with higher viscosity levels.
Factors that affect a fluid's viscosity include temperature (higher temperatures lead to lower viscosity), pressure (increased pressure can increase viscosity), and the composition of the fluid (molecular size and shape can affect how easily molecules can flow past each other).
To test viscosity, I changed the temperature of the fluid, as viscosity is highly temperature-dependent. I also altered the shear rate by modifying the speed of the stirring or flow conditions. Additionally, I used different fluid compositions or additives to examine how these variations affected viscosity measurements. These changes allowed for a comprehensive understanding of how various factors influence a fluid's resistance to flow.
Glycerin is considered a Newtonian fluid because its viscosity remains constant regardless of shear rate or stress applied. This means that its viscosity does not change with the speed or force applied to it.
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)

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.

Relative viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow compared to that of a reference fluid, often water. It is calculated by dividing the viscosity of the fluid by the viscosity of the reference fluid. Relative viscosity is commonly used in the study of fluid dynamics and in industries such as oil and gas, chemicals, and food processing.
Viscosity is a fluids resistance to flow. A high viscosity fluid would be thick, a low viscosity fluid would be thin.
The viscosity of oobleck, a non-Newtonian fluid, decreases with applied force or shear stress. When a force is applied, the cornstarch particles in the oobleck align and create a more fluid-like behavior, lowering its viscosity.
viscosity is a physical characteristic not a physical change. it is the thickness of a substancephysical changes would be if it turned from solid into a liquid.for example a chocolate bar goes through a physical change when it becomes melted chocolate.
A fluid's resistance to flow is called its viscosity.
Glycerin is considered a Newtonian fluid because its viscosity remains constant regardless of shear rate or stress applied. This means that its viscosity does not change with the speed or force applied to it.
The factors that determine the viscosity of a fluid, when viscosity is not affected by temperature, include the size and shape of the molecules in the fluid, the presence of any impurities or additives, and the pressure under which the fluid is being measured.
The formula for fluid friction is given by the equation: Ff = 6πηrv where Ff is the fluid friction force, η is the dynamic viscosity of the fluid, r is the radius of the object, and v is the velocity of the object.
