    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_viscosities

    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.

  3. Lava lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lava_lamp

    Lava lamps An original Mathmos Astro lava lamp A lava lamp is a decorative lamp , invented in 1963 by British entrepreneur Edward Craven Walker , the founder of the lighting company Mathmos . It consists of a bolus of a special coloured wax mixture inside a glass vessel, the remainder of which contains clear or translucent liquid.

  4. Viscosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity

    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). Common logarithm of viscosity against temperature for B 2 O 3, showing two regimes

  5. Viscous liquid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscous_liquid

    Viscous flow in amorphous materials is characterised by deviations from the Arrhenius-type behaviour: the activation energy of viscosity Q 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).

  6. Microlites - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microlites

    Low viscosity mafic magmas must be quenched very rapidly from a high temperature to form glass that is free of any crystalline content. [3] Microlites have been found in volcanic ash collected from Hawaiian lava fountains, where rapid cooling favors their formation. Sideromelane is a light brown basaltic glass, also formed in these eruptions ...

  7. Volume viscosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_viscosity

    The same goes for shear viscosity. For a Newtonian fluid the shear viscosity is a pure fluid property, but for a non-Newtonian fluid it is not a pure fluid property due to its dependence on the velocity gradient. Neither shear nor volume viscosity are equilibrium parameters or properties, but transport properties.

  8. Viscosity models for mixtures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity_models_for_mixtures

    The dilute gas viscosity contribution to the total viscosity of a fluid will only be important when predicting the viscosity of vapors at low pressures or the viscosity of dense fluids at high temperatures. The viscosity model for dilute gas, that is shown above, is widely used throughout the industry and applied science communities.

  9. Volatile (astrogeology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volatile_(astrogeology)

    Volatiles in a magma with a high viscosity, generally felsic with a higher silica (SiO 2) content, tend to produce eruptions that are explosive eruption. Volatiles in a magma with a low viscosity, generally mafic with a lower silica content, tend to vent as effusive eruption and can give rise to a lava fountain.
