VISCOUS POTENTIAL

INTRODUCTION

- The purpose of this project would be to test the viscosity of fluids in order to see how they
behave to changes that affect their surface and to see how much surface tension liquids can
have, all this in order to see which one would perform better in different environments and
different situations. The fluid that performs best could be used for protection, coverage or
insulation depending on the situation in which it is going to be used.

OBJECTIVES

- This viscous material can be a great tool used in many fields, taking advantage of its hardening
characteristics when receiving impacts and its flaccidity that allows it to be easily transported.
The reason for choosing this fluid as the main one is because they change their consistency
(viscosity) according to the pressure and temperature to which they are exposed. For example, if
we leave it at rest, it behaves as a liquid, but if we apply pressure or force, its consistency
changes, and it becomes solid for an instant

PROCEDURE:

The process that would be carried out would be to check which would have the best surface tension and
which would behave better when receiving a blow, fall of an object, etc. The mixture would be placed in
a moderately large container in which the tests would be carried out, all this with different fluids of
different viscosities.
