    1. Blood is a non-Newtonian fluid that becomes less viscous at higher strain rates, making it a pseudoplastic fluid. Its viscosity is 6-15 times that of water and depends on hematocrit level. 2. The document discusses the viscosity of blood and how it compares to that of water and plasma. It also explains that blood is a pseudoplastic, non-Newtonian fluid whose viscosity decreases with increasing strain rate. 3. The viscosity of blood ranges from 6-15 times that of water, depending on hematocrit level, which is the percentage of red blood cells and platelets. It is more viscous than plasma, which has a viscosity around 1.8 times that of water.

    viscosities compare with plain water at 37 C?

    Solution: (a) By definition, since viscosity varies with strain rate, blood is a nonnewtonian
    fluid. CHEN 311 Introduction to Fluids Engineering
    (b) Since the apparent viscosity decreases with
    Homework strain rate, it must be a pseudoplastic fluid, as
    1- SOLUTION
    in Fig. 1.9(a). The decrease is too slight to call this a PplasticQ fluid. (c) These viscosity
    values are from six to fifteen times the viscosity of pure water at 37 C, which is about 0.00070
    kg/m-s. The viscosity of the liquid part of blood, called plasma, is about 1.8 times that of
    water. Then there is a sharp increase of blood viscosity due to hematocrit, which is the
    Problems:
    percentage, by volume, of red cells and platelets in the blood. For normal human beings, the
    hematocrit varies from 40% to 60%, which makes this blood about six times the viscosity of
    plasma.

    1.48 A thin moving plate is separated from two fixed plates by two fluids of unequal
    viscosity and unequal spacing, as shown below. The contact area is A. Determine (a) the
    force required, and (b) is there a necessary relation between the two viscosity values?

    Solution: (a) Assuming a linear velocity distribution on each side of the plate, we obtain

    1V 2V
    F 1A 2A A Ans. (a )
    h1 h2

    The formula is of course valid only for laminar (nonturbulent) steady viscous flow. (b)
    Since the center plate separates the two fluids, they may have separate, unrelated shear
    stresses, and there is no necessary relation between the two viscosities.
