Question

If the shearing stress is linearly related to the rate of shearing strain for a fluid, it is a_____ fluid. What are other types of fluids and how does their rate of shearing strain relate to shearing stress?

Answer 1

If the shearing stress is linearly related to shearing strain then the fluid is called as Newtonian fluid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

If the shearing stress is linearly related to shearing strain then the fluid is called as Newtonian fluid.

Step-by-step explanation:

The other types of fluids are:

1) Non-Newtonian fluids which are further classified as

a) Thixotropic Fluid: Viscosity decreases with shearing stress over time.

b) Rehopactic Fluid: Viscosity increases with shearing stress over time.

c) Dilatant Fluid: Apparent viscosity increases with increase in stress.

d) Pseudoplastic: Apparent viscosity decreases with increase in stress.
