1. Viscosity Definition: resistance to flow. F F ?L Fluid Fluid Layers ?l X ? x Velocity gradient F = shear force (N), v = velocity (m/s), x = fluid thickness (m), L = distance (m).

F = shear force (N), v = velocity (m/s), x = fluid thickness (m), A = area of the plate (m2), t = shear stress (Pa), ? ? = shear rate (s-1), and ? = viscosity (Pa·s)
Viscosity (represented by the symbol ? “eta”) is the ratio of the shearing stress (F/A) to the velocity gradient (?v/?x or dv/dx) in a fluid.

The more usual form of this relationship, called Newton’s equation, states that the resulting shear of a fluid is directly proportional to the force applied and inversely proportional to its viscosity. The similarity to Newton’s second law of motion (F = ma) should be apparent. ? = FA ?v ?x or ? = FA dv dx = t?? dt vs F m dv dx dv AF =? . =
