Viscosity Measurement

Question 1
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 10%
Which of the following represents the slow motion of layers of fluid in one direction?
Laminar flow
Turbulent flow
Viscous flow
Both laminar and viscous flow
Explanation:
If different layers of fluid moves slowly in a single direction, it is known as a laminar flow which can also be called as viscous flow.
Question 2
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 30%
Rotameter type viscometer converts viscosity to angular displacement.
True
False
Explanation:
Rotameter type viscometers are used for measurement of viscosity and they are working based on the conversion of viscosity to torque.
Question 3
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 10%
Which of the following represents Hagen-poissule equation?
µ = (πd4ΔP)/(128Q’L)
µ = (d4ΔP)/(128Q’L)
µ = (πd4ΔP)/(Q’L)
µ = (πd4)/(128Q’L)
Explanation:
Hagen-Piossule equation is applied in viscosity measurement using Saybolt viscometer.
Question 4
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 10%
Which of the following represents relation for kinematic viscosity?
Absolute density/mass density
Absolute density × mass density
Absolute density × (mass density)2
Absolute density/(mass density)2
Explanation:
Kinematic density is the ratio of absolute viscosity and mass density denoted by ‘ϱ’.
Question 5
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 10%
Which of the following is not converting viscosity to pressure?
Redwood viscometer
Saybolt viscometer
Orifice viscometer
Rotameter viscometer
Explanation:
Rotameter viscometer converts viscosity to torque, while all other options are different names of the same viscometer which convert viscosity to pressure.
Question 6
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 10%
If shear stress is equal proportional to velocity gradient, fluid is called as ______________
Newtonian fluid
Viscous fluid
Laminar fluid
None of the mentioned
Explanation:
Newtonian fluids are in which shear stress is proportional to velocity gradient. Velocity gradient is the result of the approach of shear stress and is considered to be the rate of deformation.
Question 7
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 20%
Orifice type viscometer covert viscosity to _______________
Force
Pressure
Displacement
Potential difference
Explanation:
Orifice type device is used for measurement of viscosity in which viscosity is converted to pressure change.
Question 8
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 10%
Which of the following represents newton’s equation for viscosity?
τ = µ(dv/dt)
µ = τ(dv/dt)
Ï„ = dv/dt
τ = µ2(dv/dt)
Explanation:
Newton’s equation for viscosity connects relation of viscosity and velocity gradient.
Question 9
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 10%
What happens to the viscosity of liquid and gas when the temperature is increased?
Both increases
Both decreases
For liquid increases and for gas decreases
For liquid decreases and gas increases
Explanation:
As temperature is increased, viscosity of liquid decreases and for gases viscosity increases.
Question 10
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 10%
Which of the following represents Newtonian fluids?
Lubricating oils
Honey
Rubber suspension
Synthetic oils
Explanation:
Newtonian fluids are in which shear stress proportional to velocity gradient. Lubricating oils are Newtonian fluid, while all other options represent non-Newtonian fluids.
