To understand viscosity, laminar flow must be understood. This is when a gas or fluid flowing over a surface results in the molecules next to the surface having zero speed. As the distance from the ...

The term “Nanofluids” was first proposed by Choi of Argonne National Laboratory USA in 1995, which meant nanoparticle fluid suspensions. After which, this interdisciplinary field has developed ...

Certain kinds of motor oils behave differently. Ideally, an engineer would prefer the oil viscosity to remain the same when the engine is hot as when it is cold. Motor oil includes additives developed ...

In this video we take a look at viscosity, a key property in fluid mechanics that describes how easily a fluid will flow. But there's more too it than that! We'll start by defining viscosity using ...

This question is often best answered by example. Imagine a styrofoam cup with a hole in the bottom. If I then pour honey into the cup I will find that the cup drains very slowly. That is because honey ...

As General Motors prepares to launch its Gen 6 Small Block V8 engine family in conjunction with its next-gen light-duty pickup trucks, GM Authority has been bust serving up a variety of critical ...

An international team of scientists has discovered how cancer cells exposed to high viscosity environments change the way they move to improve their invasiveness and favor metastases. The studies ...

The second car that I ever owned was a 2002 Chevy Silverado 2500 with a 6.6L Duramax diesel engine under the hood. It wasn't my first choice, but it was a hand-me-down from my father after my 1993 ...

You could save as much as 1 percent on your fuel economy simply by switching from a 15W-40 engine oil to a 10W-30 engine oil, according to new research from Chevron Oronite. A research paper, titled ...
