UNIT 1

1) Define Viscosity.
It is a measure of fluidity of the system. Many fluids undergo continuous deformation with the application of shearing stress.
2) Define Newtonian fluids
If the force flow relation is linear then the fluid is Newtonian .
3) Define Non Newtonian fluids
If the force flow relation is non linear then the fluid is Newtonian .
4) Define Kinematic Viscosity.
Ratio of absolute viscosity to the density of the fluid.
V= µ cm2 /ς sec
5) Define Specific Viscosity.
Ratio of absolute viscosity of the fluid to the absolute viscosity of a standard fluid at the same temperature. µs = µ / µh
6) Define Relative Viscosity.
Ratio of absolute viscosity of the fluid at a given temperature to the absolute viscosity of a standard fluid at 20°c.
7) Define Viscosity index
It is an empirical number that indicates the effect of change of temperature on viscosity if a fluid.
8) Define fluidity.
It is the reciprocal of viscosity. It is unit is 1/ poise.
9) Define Humidity.
It is basically moisture content in air or it is the quantity of water vapour retained by gas.
10) Define Absolute Humidity.
Weight of water vapour in unit wait of gas.
H=Wr / Wg
11) Define Specific Humidity.
It is weight of vapors in unit weight of mixture.
12) Define Relative Humidity.
This is the ratio of moisture content of gas to maximum moisture content of the gas at that temperature. 13) Define dew point.
This is the saturation temperature of the mixture at the corresponding vapour pressure.
14) Define various units of Humidity.
Vppm = parts per million / volume.
G/ kg = weight concentration
Relative humidity = in %
Dew point in °C.

15) Define Hygrometer.
Used to measure the moisture content in air. It also used to measure humidity.
16) What is the basic principle of Hygrometer.
It consist of mechanical device measuring the dimension

    The Effect of Temperature on The Viscosity of Glycerol Research Question: What is the effect of increasing the independent variable of the temperature of glycerol (30ºC, 40ºC, 50ºC, 60ºC and 70ºC) (+ 0.5ºC) using a hotplate and measured using a thermometer (+ 0.05º), on the dependent variable of time (secs + 0.2) taken for 50mL (+ 0.05ml) of glycerol to flow through a 50cm3 burette (+ 0.05cm3) into a 250 mL beaker (+ 12.5 mL) measured by a digital stopwatch (+ 0.2secs), therefore indicating the viscosity of glycerol? Background Information: Viscosity is a property defined as a liquid’s resistance to flow. When the intermolecular forces are strong within a liquid, there is a higher viscosity. (UC Davis, 2014). The viscosity of a substance is related to the strength of…

    Before we conduct the experiment, we must first understand what viscosity is. “Viscosity is the quantity that describes a fluid's resistance to flow”.1 It is essentially fluid friction and transforms kinetic energy of motion into heat energy, just as friction (“the force between surfaces in contact that resists their relative tangential motion”) does between two solid bodies. All fluids express some amount of viscosity. An ideal fluid has no internal friction between the molecules, meaning that it is not viscous. The reciprocal of viscosity is fluidity (“the physical property of a substance that enables it to flow.”)2 Thus, fluids that are high in viscosity tend to flow slower while fluids that are low in viscosity tend to flow faster. Different liquids have different forces: the larger the intermolecular force, the more viscous it is and vice versa.…

    An air should be called saturated, when its relative humidity reaches to 100 percent. It is also specific determinant of the amount and rate of evapotranspiration and critical climate factor in the rate of moisture loss by plants and animals, including human beings. It also expresses the average condition of water vapors in atmosphere. Relative humidity has also a physiological significance, as it determines the efficiency of the water-evaporating phase of our body cooling mechanism. It is also an important source of all forms of condensation and precipitation, where there is little moisture in the air; the precipitation will be low as compared to high atmospheric moisture. As the air is a principal absorber of solar energy and earth radiant energy as well, water vapor operates as a heat regulator and so have great effects on air…
