    water. This is a liquid’s resistance to flow and that is otherwise known as viscosity. This a concept that people would call thickness of a liquid. It makes sense that the thicker the liquid the viscosity would be greater. Viscosity describes the friction of a moving liquid. A liquid with high viscosity resists motion due to the fact its molecular composition gives it a lot of friction inside. A fluid with lower viscosity flows with ease because its molecular composition has very little friction…

    frequency scales as γ ̇ϕ, the migration velocity scales as γ ̇ϕ(a^2⁄η)∇η. Since the viscosity of concentrated suspensions where the importance of Brownian forces is negligible (Pe≫1) can be expressed approximately as: η_r= (1-ϕ⁄ϕ_max )^(-1.82) ( 2 ) when multiplied by ϕ, the eq. ( 2 ) can be used to express the gradient of viscosity in terms of ∇ϕ and represent the flux attributed to the special variation of viscosity (N_η ) due to particle concentration gradients as follow: N_η=-K_η γ ̇ϕ^2…

    According to the data table, the resilience of observation #2 is greater than observation #1 because the more borax solution in the slime, the more viscosity it has. By Newton’s discovery, the greater the viscosity, the harder and solidified the slime will be which all the bonds between the white glue and borate ions are tightly hold together. Base on the data provided above, the slime in observation#1 can be stretched longer than the slime in observation #2 because the #1 slime has less borax…

    proportionality constant, which is to be referred as the coefficient of viscosity. Non-Newtonian fluid is a fluid where the properties of fluid flow are not similar with Newtonian fluid. In Newtonian fluids, the viscosity of fluid is dependent on the shear rate history. In the non-Newtonian fluid, the relationship between the shear stress and the shear rate is different and can even be time dependent. A coefficient of viscosity cannot be constant in all cases.…

    The optimum dental treatment for any patient is to restore teeth function and esthetic while removing the least amount of tooth structure, and replacing it with a dental material that will be biocompatible with the tooth and resist the hostile oral environment. Dental materials are incorporated into the teeth structure by retention. This retention can accomplished through mechanical, chemical adhesion or bonding mechanisms between materials and the dental structure. Mechanical retention is…

    for the porous bearings in the second order rotatory theory of hydrodynamic lubrication. The analysis of equations for pressure and load capacity, tables and graphs reveal that pressure and load capacity are not independent of viscosity and increases slightly with viscosity. Also the pressure and load capacity both increases with increasing values of rotation number.…

    Two computation cases were introduced, one with a polyurethane graft and another with a silicon rubber graft. The computations were done under a pulsatile flow. Both cases were computed under maximum peak pressure as mentioned in the method section. The flow volume rate is expressed by integrating on surface as followed: Q=∬_A^ ▒v.dA (5) By integrating flow volume rate in time…

    All fluids have its resistance to relative motion between surfaces and is called Viscosity. This property is about the friction between the particles of a fluid. A fluid that is forced in a tube has the liquid moving faster as it is closer the axis of the tube and slower when farther from it. 3.1.1 Dimensionless Parameters In analysis of convection heat transfer, it is convenient to convert to non-dimensional the governing equations and combine the variables, which makes the group of…

    point, injection wells would be utilized to increase the pressure by injecting water and gas (Lund). Besides pressure determining how fast the fluid will flow, there are other factors to consider such as permeability, permeability direction, and viscosity. A higher permeable reservoir needs less pressure to match the flow rate of a low permeable reservoir. Also the direction of permeability is important, either vertical or horizontal. Normally horizontal has greater…

    Cyclone Separator System

    Stairmands data is based on a cyclone separator with a characteristic diameter of 203mm and a height of 812mm. The flow rate is used to determine this characteristic diameter, which then along with the flow rate, change in density and dynamic viscosity is used to determine the scaling factor. The scaling factor is then applied to the particle size distribution, and hence the collection efficiency is determined. To ensure correct flow through the cyclone, the pressure drop is calculated, and is…
