Which of the following is not an example of a Non- Newtonian fluids?(a) Gels(b) Water(c) Suspensions(d) PuddingThe question was asked in a national level competition.Question is from Classification of Fluids in division Fluid Flow and Mixing of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer»

Correct choice is (b) Water

To elaborate: Water is a Newtonian fluid, because it continues to display fluid properties no MATTER how much it is stirred or mixed. A slightly less rigorous definition is that the drag of a small object being moved slowly through the fluid is PROPORTIONAL to the force applied to the object. (Compare friction). Important fluids, like water as WELL as most gases, behave – to good approximation – as a Newtonian fluid under NORMAL conditions on Earth.
