Study Notes
Viscosity
- Viscosity is the property of liquids that determines their flow.
- It is compared in terms of the coefficient of viscosity.
Coefficient of Viscosity
- The coefficient of viscosity is the force per unit area required to maintain unit velocity difference between two parallel layers unit distance apart.
- It is denoted by η (eta) and its unit is g cm^-1 s^-1 or poise.
- Smaller units centipoise (10^-2 poise) and millipoise (10^-3 poise) are used.
- The SI unit is kg m^-1 s^-1.
Fluidity
- The reciprocal of the coefficient of viscosity is called fluidity.
Characteristics of Viscosity
- The coefficient of viscosity is proportional to the density of the liquid and the time of flow of the liquid.
- It is dependent on temperature.
Relationship Between Viscosity and Temperature
- The coefficient of viscosity of a liquid is proportional to the temperature and density of the liquid.
- η = Constant T d, where η is the coefficient of viscosity, T is the temperature, and d is the density of the liquid.
Comparison of Viscosity of Two Liquids
- The ratio of the coefficients of viscosity of two liquids is equal to the ratio of their temperatures and densities.
- η_l / η_w = T_1 / T × d_1 / d_w, where η_l and η_w are the coefficients of viscosity of the two liquids, and T_1, d_1, T, and d_w are their respective temperatures and densities.
