Fluids which undergo strain rates proportional to the applied shear stress are termed as?(a) Inviscid fluid(b) Newtonian fluid(c) Non- Newtonian fluid(d) Viscous fluidThe question was asked during an online exam.My enquiry is from Classification of Fluids in chapter Fluid Flow and Mixing of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer»

Right option is (b) NEWTONIAN fluid

Explanation: Newtonian fluids undergo strain rates proportional to the applied shear stress. It is defined to be a fluid whose shear stress is LINEARLY proportional to the velocity gradient in the direction PERPENDICULAR to the plane of shear. This DEFINITION means regardless of the forces ACTING on a fluid, it continues to flow.
