What influences viscosity?(a) Temperature(b) Time(c) Velocity(d) SpeedThe question was posed to me in semester exam.Origin of the question is Viscosity Measurement topic in chapter Fluid Flow and Mixing of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer»

The correct choice is (a) Temperature

To explain: Along with the shear rate, temperature really is the dominating INFLUENCE. The higher the temperature is, the lower a substance’s VISCOSITY is. CONSEQUENTLY, decreasing temperature causes an increase in viscosity. For some FLUIDS a decrease of 1°C already causes a 10 % increase in viscosity.
