Definition : Viscosity is a measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow. The special property of liquid to oppose this relative motion of layers between the liquid is called Viscosity.As viscosity increases speed of layer decreases.
The SI unit of viscosity is poiseiulle (PI). Its other units are newton-second per square metre (N s m-2) or pascal-second (Pa s.) The dimensional formula of viscosity is [ML-1T-1].
Mobile and Viscous liquids
Mobile and Viscous liquids All liquids do not flow alike. Liquids of greater viscosity are viscous liquids and those of very lower viscosity are the mobile liquids.
Viscous liquids will flow very slowly and mobile liquids will flow easily
Examples
• Viscous Liquids: Honey,gelatin, glycerine, oil, etc
• Mobile liquids :Water, petrol, keroscene, rose water, etc
Effect of Temperature on Viscosity
When temperature is given to a liquid, the intermolecular force of attraction decreases. As a result viscous force decreases and viscosity decreases. As temperature increases, viscosity decreases.As temperature decreases, viscosity iTemperature
Application of Viscosity and Temperature
When shocked, Body temperature will drop suddenly.It will enhance the viscosity of blood and blood can’t flow through the vessel, which will cause Heart attack. By rubbing Body temperature increases, viscosity of blood decreases and will flow smoother.
