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.


How does a thickness of a fluid compare to its viscosity?

The more thick the substance is, the higher the viscosity.


Does olive oil or motor oil have greater viscosity?

Motor oil typically has greater viscosity than olive oil. Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow, and motor oil is designed to have a higher viscosity in order to protect the engine's moving parts at high temperatures and speeds.


What is relative viscosity?

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.


How is viscosity measured in units?

Viscosity is typically measured in units of Poise (P) or centipoise (cP). The viscosity of a fluid is a measure of its resistance to deformation under shear stress, and it indicates how easily the fluid will flow. High viscosity fluids have a greater resistance to flow compared to low viscosity fluids.


Where did viscosity come from?

Viscosity arises from the internal friction between molecules in a fluid as they move past each other. It is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. The level of viscosity depends on the type of fluid and its temperature.

A fluid resistance to flow is called?

A fluid's resistance to flow is called its 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 common technique is used to change the viscosity of a fluid?

Fluid viscosity can be changed by several methods so the answer is it depends on the application. For most fluids, viscosity is a function of temperature so increasing temperature can reduce the viscosity. Fluids can also be diluted with a solvent. Examples would be honey and water or paint and paint thinner. Fluid viscosity is also a function of the length of the molecules that form your fluid. An example would be long carbon chain molecules that can be chemically broken and therefore shortened thus reducing the viscosity of the fluid. I'm sure there are other methods but hopefully one of these will be of value.


What factors determine the viscosity of a fluid if viscosity does not depend on temperature?

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.


What is the relationship between viscosity and internal friction?

Viscosity is a measure of the resistance of a fluid which is being deformed by either shear stress or tensile stress. In everyday terms (and for fluids only), viscosity is "thickness" or "internal friction". Thus, water is "thin", having a lower viscosity, while honey is "thick", having a higher viscosity. Put simply, the less viscous the fluid is, the greater its ease of movement (fluidity).
