Liquid in the flowing, the friction between the molecules known as the viscosity of the liquid. the value of the viscosity used to characterize the liquid properties which related to the resistance factor.

Viscosity is divided into dynamic viscosity, kinematic viscosity and conditional viscosity.

The flowing liquid is consist of many parallel moves layers parallel. Different layers has different speed gradient (dv / dx), which is the basic characteristics of the flow. Due to the presence of the velocity gradient, the slower flow of the liquid layer blocks the flow of the faster liquid layer, so the liquid produces movement resistance. In order to maintain a certain velocity gradient, it is necessary to apply a contrast force to the liquid layer to the opposite resistance.

This force applied on the unit liquid layer area is called shear stress or shear force τ (N / m2).

Shear rate (D) D = d v / d x (S-1)  Shear stress and shear rate are two basic parameters that characterize the rheological properties of the system. Two different planes but parallel fluid, have the same area "A", at a distance "dx", and "V1" and "V2" flow at different flow rates to the same direction, Newton assumed to maintain this power at different flow rates proportional to the fluid Relative velocity or velocity gradient, ie: τ = ηdv / dx = ηD (Newton formula) where η is related to the properties of the material, we call "viscosity".

Put two plates (each plate 1 ㎡) in an area of 1 meters  liquid,1 meter distance of two plates, when added 1N shear stress, so that the relative velocity between the two plates is 1m / s, the viscosity of this liquid is 1Pa.s

Newtonian fluid: a fluid conforming to the Newton formula. Viscosity is only related to temperature, independent of shear rate, and τ is proportional to D.

Non-Newtonian fluid: does not meet the Newton formula τ / D = f (D), ηa that a certain (τ / D) under the viscosity, said the apparent viscosity.

Also known as the viscosity coefficient, shear viscosity or dynamic viscosity. A physical property of a fluid used to measure the viscosity of a fluid. For Newtonian fluids, the Newtonian viscosity law can be defined:

Where μ is the viscosity of the fluid; τyx shear stress; the velocity component UX; x, y coordinate axes; dux / dy is the shear strain rate. The ratio of the viscosity μ of the fluid to its density ρ is called the kinematic viscosity, denoted by v.
   Viscosity varies significantly depending on the temperature, but usually varies slightly with the pressure. Fluid viscosity decreases with increasing temperature, the viscosity of the gas increases with increasing temperature. For solutions, μr represents relative viscosity than the conventional solution viscosity and solvent viscosity μ of μ,
Relative relationship between C concentration and viscosity can be expressed as:
　　μr=1+【μ】C+K′【μ】C+…

[Μ] is the intrinsic viscosity of the solution,

K 'is the coefficient.【μ】, K' are independent of concentration.
　The viscosity of the different fluids are different. Under a pressure of 101.325 kPa, at 20 ℃ condition, air, water, and a kinematic viscosity and dynamic viscosity of glycerol:

　　Air　     μ=17.9×10-6Pa·s，　v=14.8×10-6 m2/s
　　Water　  μ=1.01×10-3Pa·s，　v=1.01×10-6m2/s　
　　Glycerol　μ=1.499Pa·s，　v=1.19×10-3m2/s

Due to the role of viscosity, so that the movement of objects in the fluid by the frictional resistance and pressure resistance, resulting in mechanical loss (see flow resistance).

Viscosity data for various fluids are measured primarily by experiments. Commonly used viscometer capillary type, drop ball type, cone plate type, drum type and so on. Sometimes to meter a determine condition viscosity by using specific forms of viscometer. As commonly used in the oil refining industry Engler viscosity (or viscosity Enge La) as an indicator of petroleum products, which represents the ratio of time with the same volume of oil 200cm 20 ℃ water outflow from the required Engler viscometer at a temperature. The relationship between viscosity and kinetic viscosity can be calculated according to empirical formula. Another example is the Mooney viscosity of the rubber used in the industry to measure the average molecular weight rubber and a plasticity index.

In the absence of viscosity test data, the viscosity can be estimated by theoretical or empirical formula. For gases with less pressure, the estimates are more accurate and poor for liquids. The viscosity of a heterogeneous fluid, such as a low concentration suspension, can be estimated using the Einstein formula:

μm is the viscosity of the suspension; μ is the viscosity of the continuous phase liquid; φ is the volume fraction of the dispersed phase in the suspension; and μd is the dispersed phase viscosity. When the dispersed phase is solid particles, μd → ∞, when the dispersed phase is bubble, μd → 0, μm = (1 + φ) μ.

Viscosity is a measure of fluid viscosity, which is a representation of the fluid flow force on its internal friction phenomenon. The viscosity showed large frictional force, the greater the molecular weight, the more the binding of hydrocarbon, the greater this force. The viscosity of various lubricants decisive, determining the quality of identification and use, and combustion properties of the fuel oil and the like of various costs. At the same temperature the distillate, alkanes as the main component of a low viscosity petroleum products, and better viscosity-temperature, i.e. high viscosity index, i.e. a small viscosity change with temperature changes the amplitude; cycloalkanes containing (or Aromatic hydrocarbons) components of the oil viscosity is higher, that is, poor viscosity; with colloids and aromatics more oil viscosity, viscosity of the worst, that the lowest viscosity index. Viscosity commonly used kinematic viscosity, in mm2 / s. Heavy fuel oil viscosity, kinematic viscosity preheated to achieve 18 ~ 20mm2 / s (40 ℃), favor a uniform injection nozzle.
　　

Three ways to measure the viscosity: Dynamic viscosity, kinematic viscosity and conditional viscosity.

(1)   Dynamic viscosity: ηt is the resistance of the two liquid layers separated by 1 cm and its area is 1 cm / s relative to the moving speed of 1 cm / sec in grams per cent centimeter.         1 g / cm · s = 1 poise General: The industrial kinematic viscosity unit is expressed in poise.　

(2)   Kinematic viscosity: at the temperature t ℃, the kinematic viscosity is expressed by the symbol γ, in the international unit system, the kinematic viscosity unit is Sri Lanka, that is, square meters per square meter (m2 / s), the actual measurement commonly used cue, Cst) indicates that the unit of cent seconds is square milliseconds per second (ie 1cst = 1mm2 / s). Kinematic viscosity is widely used in the determination of jet fuel oil, diesel, lubricants and other liquid petroleum products dark petroleum products, after use of lubricants, crude oil viscosity, kinematic viscosity measured by countercurrent method

(3)   Conditional viscosity: refers to the use of different specific viscometer measured in the unit of viscosity, the commonly used conditions for the viscosity of the following three:
① known as Si Gele Engler viscosity (Engler) viscosity. Certain sample volume, at a predetermined temperature: the lower (e.g., 50 ℃, 80 ℃, 100 ℃), flow time count the time required for 200 ml of distilled water and effluent samples at the same volume from the desired 20 ℃ Engler viscosity (Seconds) ratio. When the temperature t, viscosity of about represented by the symbol Et, Engler viscosity condition of the unit.

② Saybolt viscosity that Saybolt (sagbolt) viscosity. A certain amount of the sample, at the specified temperature from the Cessler viscometer 200 ml out of the required number of seconds to "seconds" units. Saybolt viscosity is divided into Saybolt Universal and Saybolt viscosity of heavy oil (or Saybolt Florence (Furol) viscosity) two kinds.

③ Raywell viscosity known as Redwood viscosity. A certain amount of the sample, at the specified temperature, from the Rayleigh meter out of 50 ml of the required number of seconds to "seconds" as a unit. Raytheon viscosity is divided into two types of Ray 1 (Rt) and Raytheon 2 (expressed in RAt).

Viscometry above three conditions, commonly used in Europe and America, in addition to use of Engler viscometer dark lubricating oil and residual oil, the other two are rarely used in the viscometer. The three conditions of viscosity representation and units are different, but the relationship between them can be converted through the chart. At the same time the viscosity and kinematic viscosity can also be converted, so easy and more flexible.
　There are many ways of measuring the viscosity, such as the drum method, a falling ball method, the vibration damping method, a cup viscometer method, capillary method and the like. For the smaller viscosity of the fluid, such as water, ethanol, carbon tetrachloride, commonly used capillary viscometer measurement; and viscosity of the larger fluid, such as castor oil, transformer oil, oil, glycerin and other transparent (or translucent) Drop ball method; for the viscosity of 0.1 ~ 100Pa · s range of liquid, can also be used to determine the drum method.
