Term: Coefficient of Viscosity

Description:

The coefficient of viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow or its internal friction. It quantifies how easily a fluid can be deformed by an applied shear stress. This term is commonly used in the field of physics and fluid mechanics.

Sample Sentences:

• The coefficient of viscosity determines the flow behavior of various liquids.
• Higher coefficients of viscosity indicate thicker, more resistant fluids.
• Fluids with low coefficients of viscosity, such as water, have a smooth and easy flow.
• Understanding the coefficient of viscosity helps in designing efficient lubricants for machines.
• Scientists conducted numerous experiments to measure the coefficient of viscosity for different substances.
