1. The document discusses viscosity and different methods to measure viscosity, including the coefficient of viscosity, Poiseuille's method using capillary tubes, and Searle's rotating cylinder method.
2. It provides definitions and explanations of concepts like laminar and turbulent flow, Reynolds number, critical velocity, terminal velocity, and Stoke's formula.
3. Different methods to calculate viscosity are presented, along with corrections to Poiseuille's formula accounting for kinetic energy and non-ideal flow conditions. Searle's rotating cylinder method relates viscosity to the torque measured on a rotating cylinder in a fluid.

2. Coefficient of Viscosity
Viscosity:
Viscosity is the resistance of a fluid (liquid or gas) to
a change in shape or movement of neighboring
portions relative to one another. Viscosity
denotes opposition to flow.

4. Coefficient of Viscosity
The viscosity is calculated in terms of the coefficient
of viscosity.
It is constant for a liquid and depends on its liquid’s
nature.
The Poiseuille’s method is formally used to estimate
the coefficient of viscosity, in which the liquid
flows through a tube at the different level of
pressures.

6. Streamline Flow
Streamline flow in fluids is defined as the flow in
which the fluids flow in parallel layers such that
there is no disruption or intermixing of the layers
and at a given point, the velocity of each fluid
particle passing by remains constant with time.
(Laminar Flow)
In steady (Streamline/Laminar) flow, the density of
the fluid remains constant at each point.
In unsteady (Turbulent) flow, the velocity of the fluid
varies between any given two points.

7. Turbulent Flow
Turbulent flow is a type of fluid (gas or liquid) flow
in which the fluid undergoes irregular
fluctuations, or mixing, in contrast to laminar
flow, in which the fluid moves in smooth paths or
layers.
In turbulent flow the speed of the fluid at a point is
continuously undergoing changes in both
magnitude and direction.

9. Critical Velocity & Reynolds
number
9
Sri Ramakrishna College of Arts and Science
Critical velocity is the speed and direction at which
the flow of a liquid through a tube changes from
smooth to turbulent.
Determining the critical velocity depends on
multiple variables, but it is the Reynolds number
that characterizes the flow of the liquid through a
tube as either turbulent or laminar.
The Reynolds number is a dimensionless variable,
which means that it has no units attached to it.

is infinite in extent
 The moving body is perfectly rigid and
smooth
 There is no slip between the moving body
and the medium
 There are no eddy current or waves set up.
