Coefficient Of Viscosity (Noun)
Meaning
A measure of the resistance to flow of a fluid under an applied force.
Classification
Nouns denoting quantities and units of measure.
Examples
- The coefficient of viscosity is a crucial factor in determining the flow of fluids in various industrial processes.
- The scientist measured the coefficient of viscosity of the new liquid to understand its behavior under different pressures.
- A higher coefficient of viscosity indicates that the fluid will experience more resistance to flow when an external force is applied.
- Engineers designed the pipeline to account for the high coefficient of viscosity of the thick crude oil, ensuring efficient transportation.
- Changes in temperature affect the coefficient of viscosity of the polymer solution, which in turn impacts its viscosity and flow behavior.
