The activation energy Q takes a different value depending on whether the high or low temperature limit is being considered: it changes from a high value Q H at low temperatures (in the glassy state) to a low value Q L at high temperatures (in the liquid state).

Consequently, if a liquid has dynamic viscosity of n centiPoise, and its density is not too different from that of water, then its kinematic viscosity is around n centiStokes. For gas, the dynamic viscosity is usually in the range of 10 to 20 microPascal-seconds, or 0.01 to 0.02 centiPoise. The density is usually on the order of 0.5 to 5 kg/m^3.
At low shear rates, the shear is too low to be impeded by entanglements and the viscosity value of the system is η 0, or the zero shear rate viscosity. The value of η ∞ represents the lowest viscosity attainable and may be orders of magnitude lower than η 0 , depending on the degree of shear thinning.
The viscosity of a shear thickening – i.e. dilatant – fluid appears to increase when the shear rate increases. Corn starch suspended in water ("oobleck", see below) is a common example: when stirred slowly it looks milky, when stirred vigorously it feels like a very viscous liquid.
Increasing temperature results in a decrease in viscosity because a larger temperature means particles have greater thermal energy and are more easily able to overcome the attractive forces binding them together. An everyday example of this viscosity decrease is cooking oil moving more fluidly in a hot frying pan than in a cold one.
The viscosity of honey is large enough to damp all surface perturbations that would lead to the breakup of the thread into droplets. Numerous examples of the breakup of fluid threads exist in daily life. It is one of the most common fluid mechanics phenomena one experiences and as such most give the process little thought.
The viscosity of the sample is then calculated using the following equation: = ˙ where is the sample viscosity, and is the force applied to the sample to pull it apart. Much like the Meissner-type rheometer, the SER rheometer uses a set of two rollers to strain a sample at a given rate. [ 31 ]
In condensed matter physics and physical chemistry, the terms viscous liquid, supercooled liquid, and glass forming liquid are often used interchangeably to designate liquids that are at the same time highly viscous (see Viscosity of amorphous materials), can be or are supercooled, and able to form a glass.
