Viscosity has to do with the thickness of a fluid. Honey is more viscous than water for example. Blood becomes more and more viscous as it dries.

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.


How would you define viscosity - index?

Viscosity index is a measure of how an oil's viscosity changes with temperature. Higher viscosity index oils are more resistant to changes in viscosity with temperature, making them perform more consistently across a range of temperatures.


What is the relation between viscosity and flow-ability of a material?

Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow, with higher viscosity indicating more resistance. The flowability of a material is related to its viscosity, where lower viscosity fluids flow more easily, while higher viscosity fluids flow more slowly. In general, lower viscosity fluids are more fluid and flow easily, while higher viscosity fluids are thicker and flow more sluggishly.


What are characteristics of viscosity?

Viscosity is the measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. Fluids with high viscosity flow slowly, while fluids with low viscosity flow quickly. Viscosity is influenced by factors such as temperature, pressure, and molecular structure of the fluid.


Use each of the following terms in a separate sentence viscosity and surface tension?

Viscosity and surface tension of liquid sample are indispensable friccohesity chemistry. The water dipoles if are 100% aligned then cohesive forces are higher and viscosity comparatively could be lower. The water dipoles are haphazardly aligned with different cohesive and adhesive forces. The viscosity explain the interlaminar frictional forces as the haphazardly aligned molecules develop stronger interlayer interaction resisting a flow. For such haphazardly aligned liquid develop comparatively weaker cohesive forces or the lower surface tension. Therefore, the viscosity and surface tension work hand in hand and both are measured using survismeter. The sur stands for surface tension while the vis for the viscosity. The friccohesity gives a new physicochemical profile of molecular mixtures especially the nanoformulations. The friccohesity is calculated using the Man Singh equation. Their detailed understanding could be attained by going through the Survismeter and Friccohesity books

Can a man lay a egg?

No. Apart from the fact that a man is the wrong gender to lay eggs, man as a species does not reproduce by laying eggs, but by live birth.


What is the least viscous liquid known to man?

Liquid helium is the least viscous liquid known to man, with a viscosity that is even lower than that of water at room temperature. It exhibits superfluidity at temperatures close to absolute zero, where it flows without any viscosity.


Explain what viscosity is and how it would change as matter changes states I cant find the answer?

Viscosity is a property of liquids and gases. In every day terms syrup is viscous and water isn't. Liquids with high viscosity are difficult to stir, there is resistance to movement through the liquid. A change of state from liquid to gas would cause the viscosity to reduce. Technically viscosity is a resistance to shear or tensile stresses. Viscosity can be measured for all liquids and gases. Wikipedia gives a technical description.

Explain what is meant by the ramp method of measuring viscosity.?

HAHA. i came here to look for the answer. After to looking through my textbook a bit i was able to determine that the ramp method is a method of measuring viscosity in which you pour a liquid down a ramp and time how long it takes to get to the bottom, can be used to compare different substance's viscosity.
