Viscosity Flashcards
1
Q
What is viscosity?
A
A substances resistance to flow
Lower viscosity = little resistance to flow and very fast
Higher viscosity = strong resistance to flow and very slow
2
Q
Factors that affect viscosity?
A
Temperature
Force
Thickness
Types of fluids
Speed
3
Q
Flow rate?
A
The amount of fluid that flows in a given time.
As viscosity increases, flow rates decrease and vise versa.
