What type of fluid has a constant viscosity regardless of the shear rate?
Correct Answer: Newtonian fluid
- 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 a Newtonian fluid is the type of fluid that maintains a constant viscosity regardless of the shear rate.
