When fluids-- liquids or gases-- move through pipes or ducts, they meet resistance. Resistance occurs because outer layers of the fluid are "held back" by a friction-like force as the layers slide by the walls of the pipe or duct. Resistance occurs also between fluid layers within the fluid as they slide past one another. Whatever the cause, fluid resistance in a pipe or duct affects both (1) flow rate and (2) pressure drop along the pipe.

A fluid resistance to flow?
A fluid's resistance to flow is called viscosity.
What is The opposite of fluidity is the resistance of a fluid to flow?
Viscisity
How do you measure the flow of a fluid?
Flow of a fluid is measured by its viscosity. Units of measure may be in unit volume per unit of time
What is the measure of how much a material opposes the flow of currenet called?
resistance
What is the measure of how difficult it is for charges to flow through a material?
Resistance, measured in Ohms.
What is the coefficient of viscosity?
A measure of the resistance to flow of a fluid under an applied force.
A fluid resistance to flow?
A fluid's resistance to flow is called viscosity.
A fluid resistance to flow is called?
A fluid's resistance to flow is called its viscosity.
Is it true that condensation is the resistance of a fluid to flow?
No, resistance to flow is viscosity.
What is the viscosity of a fluid?
resistance to fluid flow.
Why does a ball fall more slowly through viscous fluid than through water?
Viscosity is defined as a measure of the resistance to flow of a fluid. Therefor, the flow of, or the passage of an object through, a viscous fluid is resisted by the fluid.
Which is the scientific name of how well liquids can flow?
viscosity is the measure of resistance in a fluid, so basically how fast it can flow. Honey has a higher viscosity then water.
What the fluid measure of viscosity?
Viscosity is the measure of friction between adjacent layers of materials.
The resistance of a fluid to flow is referred to as?
SOLID
Does resistance to electrical current flow have the same meaning as resistance to fluid flow?
no, a better analog is reactance
What is The opposite of fluidity is the resistance of a fluid to flow?
Viscisity
How do you measure the flow of a fluid?
Flow of a fluid is measured by its viscosity. Units of measure may be in unit volume per unit of time
