  2. Heavy liquid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_liquid

    A heavy liquid is a solution or liquid chemical substance with a high density and a relatively low viscosity. Heavy liquids are often used for determination of density in mineralogy, for density gradient centrifugation and for separating mixtures. A bottle of bromoform, a heavy liquid

  3. List of viscosities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_viscosities

    Of all fluids, gases have the lowest viscosities, and thick liquids have the highest. The values listed in this article are representative estimates only, as they do not account for measurement uncertainties, variability in material definitions, or non-Newtonian behavior. Kinematic viscosity is dynamic viscosity divided by fluid density.

  4. Viscosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity

    Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's rate-dependent resistance to a change in shape or to movement of its neighboring portions relative to one another. [1] For liquids, it corresponds to the informal concept of thickness; for example, syrup has a higher viscosity than water. [2]

  5. Non-Newtonian fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Newtonian_fluid

    In physics and chemistry, a non-Newtonian fluid is a fluid that does not follow Newton's law of viscosity, that is, it has variable viscosity dependent on stress. In particular, the viscosity of non-Newtonian fluids can change when subjected to force. Ketchup, for example, becomes runnier when shaken and is thus a non-Newtonian fluid.

  6. Heavy crude oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_crude_oil

    In other words, oil with a density greater than 1000 kg/m 3 (or a specific gravity greater than 1) and a reservoir viscosity of more than 10,000 centipoises. [3] [5] Heavy oils and asphalt are dense nonaqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs). They have a low solubility and a viscosity greater than, and density higher than, water. [6]

  7. Working fluid selection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_fluid_selection

    The choice of working fluids is known to have a significant impact on the thermodynamic as well as economic performance of the cycle. A suitable fluid must exhibit favorable physical, chemical, environmental, safety and economic properties such as low specific volume (high density), viscosity, toxicity, flammability, ozone depletion potential (ODP), global warming potential (GWP) and cost, as ...
