Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What type of fluid exhibits a constant viscosity regardless of the shear rate?
  • Step 1: Understand what viscosity means. Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow.
  • Step 2: Learn about shear rate. Shear rate is how fast layers of fluid move past each other.
  • Step 3: Identify the type of fluid that has a constant viscosity. This means its resistance to flow does not change, even if the shear rate changes.
  • Step 4: Recognize that Newtonian fluids are the type of fluids that maintain a constant viscosity regardless of the shear rate.
