Front Back
The science of flow properties of matter
Rheology
The resistance offered when one part of the liquid flows past another
Viscosity
The tenacity with which a moving layer of fluid drags adjacent layers of fluid along with it determines its _______
Viscosity
Viscosity describes the _________ of a moving fluid.
Internal friction
A fluid with high viscosity ________ motion
Resist its molecular makeup gives it a lot of internal friction.
T or F A fluid with low viscosity flows easily because its molecular makeup results in very little friction when it is in motion.
True
The force required for one layer of a liquid to slip past another layer with a given velocity depends directly on the __________ of the liquid and on the areas of layers exposed to each other
Viscosity
The force required for one layer of a liquid to slip past another layer with a given velocity depends inversely on the _______ separating the two surfaces.
Distance
The difference invelocity (dv) between two planes of a liquid separated by a distance (dx) is the velocity gradient or a ___________
Rate of shear (dv/dx)
The force per unit area (F/A) needed to bring about this flow is known as the ___________
Shearing stress
The higher the viscosity of a liquid, the __________ is the shearing stress (F/A) needed to yield a certain rate of shear (dv/dx).
Greater
The reciprocal of viscosity is called
Fluidity or mobility φ = 1/η
Materials are classified into two general types depending upon their flow properties
1.) Newtonian 2.) Non-newtonian
When the relationship between the shear stress and rate of shear is directly proportioned, it is described as a__________
Newtonian flow
The slope of the rheogram for newtonian system is the ___________
Mobility
