Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
(SEED, 2004). This is a physical phenomena that can be affected by a number of factors. One particularly important factor is temperature. Higher temperatures translate into lower
viscosities. A liquids viscosity is often unique to that liquid alone, however. High viscosity liquids flow slower than low viscosity liquids. To better understand this concept think
of syrup verses water. If you spill a glass of syrup in the middle of a table it spreads out from the spill very slowly. If water is
spilled, on the other hand, it spreads out quickly over the table and often drips off the edge before you can wipe it up. All fluids, i.e. all liquids
and gases, have viscosity. A fluids viscosity can be measured in a variety of ways. If we were to spill
our water or syrup into some sort of channel, for example, we could measure the time it took the fluid to reach the end of that channel. We can
easily demonstrate the difference in viscosity of these two fluids by pouring them through a funnel. Use a clean funnel and the same volume of fluid for each liquid.
Use a stopwatch to determine the amount of time it takes each of these fluids to move through the funnel into a jar below. The syrup will take
longer, of course, because it is more viscous. The same would be true of cooking oil. Cooking oil too is more viscous than water so it would take
it longer to move through the funnel as well. When we compare the viscosity of cooking oil and syrup, however, we find that syrup is considerably more viscous than
