Q

dynamic viscosity

A

measure of fluid’s resistance to flow

tangential force per unit area required to maintain a difference in velocities of 1m/s btw 2 parallel layer of liquid 1m apart

2
Q

kinematic viscosity

A

ratio of viscosity of a fluid to its density

3
Q

Newtonian fluid

A

viscosity of fluid is independent of shear rate, obeys Netwon’s law of friction

4
Q

viscometer

A

tool used to measure viscosity using relationship btw shear stress and shear rate
