Viscosity

Viscosity

1. It is how quickly fluids flow

2. How quickly fluids flow is called flow rate

3. It is determined by a fluids resistance or friction that keeps it from flowing.

4. High Viscosity=Low flow rate Low Viscosity=High flow rate

5. The more friction= the more viscous(thicker) a substance is

6. higher temp=lower viscosity lower temp=higher viscosity

7. Viscosity changes with temp

8. You can measure viscosity by using the "Ramp Method"
