Viscosity Quiz

• Viscous stresses in a fluid result from relative velocity of different fluid particles.
• These stresses depend on spatial gradients of flow velocity.
• For small velocity gradients, viscous stresses depend only on first derivatives of velocity.
• Viscosity tensor maps velocity gradient tensor onto viscous stress tensor.
• There are 81 viscosity coefficients in total.
• Newtonian fluids have a linear dependence on first derivatives of velocity.
• Viscous stresses must depend on spatial gradients of flow velocity.
• The resulting SI units are (length)^2/time.
• Viscous stresses must depend on spatial gradients of flow velocity.
• The general relationship can be written in Cartesian coordinates.
• Maxwell used the term fugitive elasticity for fluid viscosity.
• Some liquids react like elastic solids when subjected to sudden stress.
• Some solids flow like liquids under small stress, making them viscoelastic.
• Viscoelastic solids can have shear viscosity and bulk viscosity.
• Extensional viscosity is a linear combination of shear and bulk viscosities.
• It is used for characterizing polymers.
• Earth materials in geology can also be viscoelastic.
• Viscoelasticity describes both elasticity and viscosity.
• It is a reaction to deformation and rate of deformation.
• Granite can flow like a liquid under small stress.
• Viscosity is the measure of a fluid's resistance to flow.
• It is measured with viscometers and rheometers.
• The SI unit of dynamic viscosity is the newton-second per square meter (N·s/m2).
• The most frequently used systems of US customary units are the British Gravitational (BG) and English Engineering (EE).
• Viscosity tends to increase with temperature in gases and decrease with temperature in liquids.
• Above the liquid-gas critical point, the mechanisms of momentum transport interpolate between liquid-like and gas-like behavior.
• The viscosity of a system depends on how the molecules constituting the system interact.
• Viscosity in gases arises principally from the molecular diffusion that transports momentum between layers of flow.
• An elementary calculation for a dilute gas at temperature and density gives the value of viscosity.
• The quantity, the mean free path, measures the average distance a molecule travels between collisions.
• Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow.
• It is affected by temperature, pressure, and the intermolecular interactions between molecules.
• There are different methods for measuring viscosity, including rotational viscometry and capillary viscometry.
• The viscosity of liquids can be calculated using empirically derived expressions based on existing viscosity measurements.
• Viscosity of gaseous mixtures can be calculated using the Chapman-Enskog approach.
• This approach uses the individual component viscosities, their respective volume fractions, and intermolecular interactions.
• The dependence of viscosity on intermolecular interactions enters through collisional integrals.
• These integrals may not be expressible in terms of elementary functions.
• Viscosity is an important factor in many industrial and scientific applications.
• It is used to determine the flow behavior of fluids and to optimize their performance.
