On the relationship between liquidity and viscosity
Thread Content
What does the fluidity of a fluid depend on? Which one has the best flowability – gasoline, naphtha (0.33 cp), or water? Why? Thank you!
Look at the Bernoulli equation and check the viscosity; higher viscosity results in poorer fluidity. Water has very low viscosity, so it flows well; gasoline should flow without any problems, and naphtha, although somewhat viscous, can also flow. Viscosity is related to temperature; generally, as the temperature of a liquid decreases, its viscosity increases
