Viscosity & Visco-Elasticity


Short type questions:-
1.What is viscosity?
Answer: Viscosity is a measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow
and is caused by intermolecular friction when layers of fluids
attempt to slide by one another
2.What causes the resistance in a fluid’s viscosity?
Answer: The resistance is caused by intermolecular friction
exerted when layers of fluids attempt to slide by one another
3. How does a Newtonian (viscous) liquid behave under a
deforming force?
Answer: The material begins to flow as soon as the force is
applied and continues to flow as long as the force is being
applied. There is no recovery of shape when the force is
removed
4.What are the two basic mechanical elements used in
mechanical models?
 Answer: The two basic mechanical elements are the
spring (ideal elastic body) and the dashpot (Newtonian
liquid).
5.How is absolute viscosity measured?
 Answer: Absolute viscosity is measured as the resistance
to flow when a body is forced through the fluid by an
external and controlled force.
6.What is the absolute viscosity of water at 20.2°C?
Answer: The absolute viscosity of water at 20.2°C is 1
centiPoise
7.What is the SI unit for dynamic (absolute) viscosity?
Answer: The SI unit for dynamic viscosity is Pascal-second
(Pa·s)
Long type questions:-
1. Describe the behavior of an elastic solid, a
Newtonian (viscous) liquid, and a viscoelastic solid
when a deforming force is applied and then
removed. How do these behaviors illustrate the
differences between these types of materials?
2. Explain the concept of viscoelasticity and discuss
how it differs from purely elastic and purely
viscous behaviors. Provide examples of
viscoelastic foods and describe their
characteristics

3. Explain the Maxwell model and the Kelvin model


for representing the behavior of agricultural
materials under stress. How do these models use
the concepts of elasticity and viscosity to describe
the mechanical behavior of such materials?

4.Discuss the relationship between shear stress and


velocity gradient in fluid layers as postulated by Isaac
Newton. How does this relationship help in
understanding the flow behavior of fluids with different
viscosities?
5. Describe the units of dynamic (absolute) viscosity
and kinematic viscosity in both the SI and CGS systems.
How are these units related, and what are the common
conversions between them?
