Viscosity measurement
Viscosity is an important property of a fluid and by this property fluid’s resistance of flow is measured. In other words, viscosity is a quantification of resistance of fluid to gradual deformation by shear stress. So, by this property shear stress in a fluid and angular rate of deformation are correlated. The resistance in a fluid is offered by intermolecular friction applied while layers of fluid slide by one another. Highly viscous fluid resist its flow and low viscous fluid like gas flows easily.
Objective:
Purpose of this lab experiment was to quantity viscosity, shear stress, strain Continue reading...
