Elements are the simplest building blocks you can break matter down into using purely chemical methods. They are a pure substance made up from only one type of atom.

When you mix elements together these form compounds. The important difference is that as they are a mixture of more than one type of element, they CAN be broken down into more simple substances using chemical means!

As such Hydrogen or Oxygen cannot be simplified chemically (they are therefore elements), however dihydrogen monoxide (H2O or water) is a mixture of these elements that can be broken down using chemical means and so is a compound.

Describe Newton's Law of Viscosity and the constitutive behavior of non-Newtonian fluid
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

- "Newton’s viscosity law’s states that, the shear stress between adjacent fluid layers is proportional to the velocity gradients between the two layers".

- A non-Newtonian fluid is a fluid which the relationship between the shear stress and the velocity gradient is not properly defined by the Newton's viscosity law, thus, the behavior is not lineal but potential.

Explanation:

Hello, here the answers:

- "Newton’s viscosity law’s states that, the shear stress between adjacent fluid layers is proportional to the velocity gradients between the two layers" (taken from Kundu, P. K., Cohen, I. M., & Dowling, D. R. (2012). Fluid mechanics.), thus, it means that when you have a fluid with an acting-on-it share stress (an external force which move the fluid), the related velocity gradient (variation or change in velocity) at which the layers are moving are related as:

\pi =-v \frac{du}{dy}

Whereas \pi is the shear stress, v is the viscosity and the differential accounts for the change in the velocity in the arbitrary y coordinate.

- A non-Newtonian fluid is a fluid which the relationship between the shear stress and the velocity gradient is not properly defined by the Newton's viscosity law, thus, the behavior is not lineal but potential, based on:

\pi =-v (\frac{du}{dy})^n

Whereas n accounts for a decreasing or increasing behavior of the shear stress.

Best regards.
