- The property of a fluid called viscosity is related to its internal friction and resistance to being deformed. The viscosity of water, for instance, is less than that of molasses and honey, just as the viscosity of light motor oil is less than that of grease. A unit used in mechanical engineering to describe viscosity is called the poise, named after the physiologist Jean Louis Poiseuille, who performed early experiments in fluid mechanics. The unit is defined by 1 poise = 0.1 (N s)/m2. Show that 1 poise is also equivalent to 1 g/(cm · s). %3Darrow_forwardThe thermal conductivity of a substance may be defined as the rate of heat transfer per unit length per unit temperature difference.

- Surface tension is due to uneven molecular attraction between immiscible fluid media and solid surface. Its importance is governed by dimensionless parameter Which of the Inertia force called Weber number given by We = Surface tension force™ following statements are correct?

(ii) 111 Super-hydrophobicity can be achieved by micro/nano texturing of surface such as in lotus leave, butterfly and dragonfly wing. During oil spill in ocean, oil floats and spreads out due to gravity. By conservation of mass, the oil film becomes thinner as it spreads.
