Introduction:
A viscometer (also called viscosimeter) is an instrument used to measure
the viscosity of a fluid. For liquids with viscosities which vary with flow
conditions, an instrument called a rheometer is used. Thus, a rheometer
can be considered as a special type of viscometer.[1] Viscometers only
measure under one flow condition.

In general, either the fluid remains stationary and an object moves through
it, or the object is stationary and the fluid moves past it. The drag caused
by relative motion of the fluid and a surface is a measure of the viscosity.
The flow conditions must have a sufficiently small value of Reynolds
number for there to be laminar flow.

At 20 °C, the dynamic viscosity (kinematic viscosity × density) of water is

1.0038 mPa·s and its kinematic viscosity (product of flow time × factor) is
1.0022 mm2/s. These values are used for calibrating certain types of
viscometers.

AIM: This experiment we used viscosity to determine Dynamic and

Kinematic viscosity.

PROCEDURE:

1. Adjust the viscometer bath at required test temperature.

2. Select clean, dry, calibrated viscometer having range covering the

estimated kinematic viscosity.

3.we prepare 15 ml of kerosene after that we dropped into viscometer

4. Charge the viscometer and draw the test portion into the working

capillary and timing bulb, place the rubber stoppers into the tubes to

hole the test portion in place, and insert the viscometer in the bath.

5. Allow the viscometer to reach the bath temperature (10 – 15 min)

6. Remove the stopper from capillary arm and allow the sample to

flowing freely, measure in seconds within 0.1s, the time required for

the, meniscus to pass from the start flowing line to the end line. (The

flow time should not be less than 200 s).

7. Find the viscometer constant form the table and calculate the

kinematic viscosity of the sample.

CALCULATION:
To determine the Dynamic M = VP
“ V“ IS VISCOSITY

“P” IS DENSITY
V=CT
T¿ time
C, calibration constant of the viscometer
To determine the {V} we need use this law V = CT ( c )IS
constant we found with viscosity has a paper is written
the {C} after that we dropped 15 ml of kerosene into
viscometer and we rises the kerosene and record the
time¿ 19.02s

V = 0.09050×19.02 , 1.72cm2 over second

M = VP → 1.72×0.78

DISSCUTION:

How does viscosity gets affected on increasing the pressure?

Answer:
Explanation: At high pressures, the viscosity increases considerably. Zero
viscosity is observed only at very low temperatures in superfluids.

How do you increase viscosity?

ANSWER:
Viscosity is the resistance of a liquid to flow. When temperature decreases
Viscosity generally increases. Viscosity generally decreases when the
temperature increases.

Whats The absolute kinematic viscosity ?

Answer:

Explanation: The absolute kinematic viscosity is the ratio of absolute

viscosity to density for any fluid.
