    GROUP 2 - VISCOSITY

    Questions

    1. It is defined as the ratio of dynamic viscosity to the density.

    Answer: Kinematic Viscosity

    2. It determines the fluid shear rate(dv/dy) that is generated by a given applied shear stress(τ).

    Answer: Viscosity

    3. It is the quantitative measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow.

    Answer: Viscosity

    4. Viscosity is denoted by Greek letter ____

    Answer: μ

    5. This fluid has constant velocity and zero shear rate at zero shear stress.

    Answer: Newtonian Fluids

    6. This fluid has a variable viscosity and a variable relationship with shear stress.

    Answer: Non-Newtonian Fluids

    7. This equipment measures the viscosity and flow properties of fluids. Viscosity arises from the
    internal friction of a fluid and is defined as a liquid’s resistance to flow or shear stress.

    Answer: Viscometer

    8. This equipment is used to measure the viscosity, or thickness, of a liquid by measuring how long
    it takes the liquid to flow through a small-diameter tube, or capillary.

    Answer: Capillary Viscometer

    9. A laboratory device used to measure the way in which a dense fluid (a liquid, suspension or
    slurry) flows in response to applied forces

    Answer: Rheometer

    10. The Unit for kinematic Viscosity.

    Answer: Stoke / m2/s

    11. The unit for Dynamic Viscosity

    Answer: Pascal-second (Pa-s), Millipascal second (mPa-s), Centipoise (cP)

    12-15. Newtonian Fluid or Non-Newtonian Fluid


    12. Pastes

    Answer: Non-Newtonian
    13. Water

    Answer: Newtonian Fluid
