viscosity decreases as temperature of a fluid increases. As temperature rises, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases. The molecules become more energetic to move freely and are loosely bonded to each other. The reverse is true for when temperature drops.

The compressibility of fluids is confined to their behavior in the mode of compression. The definition of the bulk modulus of elasticity stems from the relative change in volume and provides a measure of the compressibility of a fluid.

In liquids, viscosity depends on the strength of cohesive forces between fluid molecules; hence an increase in temperature results in a decrease cohesive forces and a decrease in viscosity. For gases, viscosity depends on the momentum exchange between layers of gas moving at different velocities. An increase in temperature provides an increase in molecular activity and an increase in viscosity.

Hi Everyone, Not my strongest topic but I do know the answer to this one. A Newtonian fluid's viscosity remains constant, no matter the amount of shear applied for a constant temperature. These fluids have a linear relationship between viscosity and shear stress. Non-Newtonian fluids are the opposite of Newtonian fluids. When shear is applied to non-Newtonian fluids, the viscosity of the fluid changes. This can be either Dilatant - viscosity is directly proportional, Psuedoplastic - viscosity is Inversely proportional, Rheopectic - viscosity is directly proportional over time or thixotropic - viscosity is inversely proportional over time. Why do you need to know the difference? It's important to fully understand the properties of the fluids you're transferring, mixing, or pumping, because viscosity plays a major role in sizing and selecting equipment. Understanding how it reacts to shear will help you properly size and select all the equipment it comes in contact with. I am a very busy person, so apologies in advance if it takes a few days to get back to anyone. Great topic OP. Very important knowledge to have.
