When you describe a liquid as thick, are you saying that it has a high or a low viscosity?

Physics

It is commonly perceived as "thickness", or resistance to pouring. Viscosity describes a fluid's internal resistance to flow and may be thought of as a measure of fluid friction. Thus, water is "thin", having a low viscosity, while vegetable oil is "thick" having a high viscosity.

A thin plate 6 ft long and 3 ft wide is submerged and held stationary in a stream of water (T = 60°F) that has a velocity of 17
VashaNatasha [74]

A) In the case of the Boundary Thickness Layer we use the given formula,

\delta = \frac{4.91x}{\sqrt{Re}}

We know as well that,

Re = Número de Reynolds = \frac{U*x}{\upsilon}

Where,

U = velocity

\upsilon = kinematic viscosity

For water, kinematic viscosity, \upsilon = 1.21*10^{-5} ft^2 /s

So, 500,000 = \frac{ 17x}{(1.21*10^{-5})}

x = 0.355 ft

d = \frac{4.91*0.355}{\sqrt {500000}}

d = 0.002465 ft = 0.029in

B) For flat plate boundary layer. Given the Critical Reynolds Number.= 5*10^5 we know that is equal to Re above.

Thus, x = 0.355 ft

C. Wall shear stress,

\tau = \mu*\sqrt{ U^3 / (2*\nu*x) }

For water, dynamic viscosity, \nu = 2.344*10^-5 lbf-s/ft^2

\tau = 2.344*10^-5 \sqrt {17^3 / (2*1.21*10^{-5}*0.355)}

\tau = 0.5605 lbf/ft^2

imagine riding a single-speed bicycle. why do you have to push harders on the pedals to start the bicycle moving than to keep it
Flura [38]
A large force is required to accelerate the mass of the bicycle and rider. Once the desired constant velocity is reached, a much smaller force is sufficient to overcome the ever-present frictional forces.
