Why does viscosity vary with respect to temperature?
the increase in temperature increases the K.E of the molecules and distances among molecules therefore the force of friction decreases as the result of which molecules move faster and viscosity...
Why viscosity of oil decreases with increasing temperature?
the viscosity decreasses because the temperature makes it very light.
Why does the viscosity of oil change with the change in temperature?
If i knew the answer i wouldn't be searching for it.
Does an increase or decrease in temperature affect the viscosity of oil?
Yes. If the temperature changes enough, the viscosity of oil will change, too. Oil is designed to resist changes in viscosity with temperature changes, at least to a degree. But if the change (either...
How does the viscosity of sea water qualitatively vary with temperature?
between 0 celcius and 20 celcius the dynamic viscosity of seawater at 35 g/kg salinity is reported to be 1.88 x 10-3 and 1.08 x 10-3 Pa s. If you calculate the rate of decrease in viscosity with...
