fluids obey Newton's law of viscosity, and any fluid that does so is
referred to as a Newtonian fluid. A plot showing how the shear stress
and shear-strain rate behave for some common Newtonian fluids is
shown in Fig. 1-13. Notice how the slope (viscosity) increases. from air,
which has a very low viscosity, to water, and then to crude oil, which has
a much higher viscosity. In other words,the higher the viscosity, the more
resistant the fluid is to flow.

Viscosity) - constant coefficient of viscosity cannot be defined for Non-Newtonian fui as its possible for Newtonian fluids.
In case of the Non-Newtanian fuids, the concept of vicosty usually used in fuid mechanics to characterize the shear proprieties ofa fluid is not quite
adequate. Instead, they are studied best through several other rheological proprieties that relate to stress and strain rate tensors under many
different flow conditions which are measured using different devices or rheometer.
Comparsting Viscoelastic, Non-Newtonian and Newtonian proprieties we can observe:

Understanding the behaviour of non-Newtonian fluids has important applications:
+ Prevent disasters - planning the place to construct a house or building depending on the soil of the terrain
+ Safety - creating body vest / armours that behave like non-Newtonian fluids for Police or Military uses
+ Medicine - understand more about our body and improve health tecniquesBrookfield viscometer
‘The viscosity of a Newtonian liquid can be measured in several ways. One
common method is to use a rotational viscometer, sometimes called a
Brookfield viscometer. This device, shown in the photo on the next page,
consists of a solid cylinder that is suspended within a cylindrical container
as shown in Fig. L-17a, The liquid to be tested fills the small space between
these two cylinders, and as the container is forced ta rotate with a very
slow constant angular velocity «, it causes the contained cylinder to twist
the suspension wire a small amount before it attains equilibrium. By
measuring the angle of twist of the wire, the torque M in the wire can be
calculated using the theory of mechanics of materials. This torque resists
the moment caused by the shear stress exerted by the liquid on the surface
of the suspended cylinder, Once this torque is known, we can then find
the viscosity of the Muid using Newton's law of viscosity,

containerSURFACE TENSION
Surface tension is
defined as the tensile force acting on the surface of a liquid in contact with a gas
or on the surface between two immiscible liquids such that the contact surface behaves like a
membrane under tension. The magnitude of this force per unit length of the free surface will have the
same value as the surface energy per unit area. It is denoted by Greek letter o (called sigma). In MKS
units, it is expressed as kgffm while in SI units as N/m.
The phenomenon of surface tension is explained by
Fig. 1.10. Consider three molecules A, B, C of a liquid in a
mass of liquid. The molecule A is attracted in all directions
equally by the surrounding molecules of the liquid. Thus the
resultant force acting on the molecule A is zero, But the
molecule B, which is situated near the free surface, is acted
upon by upward and downward forces which are unbalanced.
Thus @ net resultant force on molecule B is acting in the
downward direction. The molecule C, situated on the free
surface of liquid, does experience a resultant downward force.
All the molecules on the free surface experience a downward
force. Thus the free surface of the liquid acts like a very thin
liquid act as though it is an elastic membrane under tension
