Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFExplanation:
-
Dynamic viscosity of water decreases with increase in temperature.
-
As temperature rises, intermolecular forces weaken, making fluid layers slide more easily.
-
For gases like air, dynamic viscosity increases with temperature.
-
Higher temperature leads to more molecular motion, increasing momentum transfer between layers.
Additional Information Dynamic Viscosity (μ)
-
It measures a fluid’s resistance to flow when an external force is applied.
-
Represents internal friction between fluid layers moving at different velocities.
-
SI unit: Pascal-second (Pa·s) or N·s/m².
-
For liquids, μ decreases as temperature increases.
-
For gases, μ increases with temperature.
-
Used in calculating shear stress and analyzing force in fluid motion.
Kinematic Viscosity (ν)
-
It is the ratio of dynamic viscosity to fluid density.
-
Describes how easily a fluid flows under gravity.
-
SI unit: m²/s.
-
ν=μ/ρ\nu = \mu / \rhoν=μ/ρ — higher ν means more sluggish flow.
-
Depends on both viscosity and density of fluid.
-
Useful in flow problems where gravity and motion dominate over external forces.
