INTRODUCTION

One frequent way is to use a Falling Sphere Viscometer to


determine the viscosity of a liquid, particularly for Newtonian
liquids such as glycerin They simply entail forces like as buoyancy
and drag. In this situation, the force acting against by the mass of a
falling item is a smooth-surfaced steel ball for more precise and
accurate performance for the viscosity of the liquid. The drag force
formula has been developed. derived by applying Stoke's law to
Reynold's number less than 1 (Yuan et. al, 2008). According to
Stoke's law, the speed at which the rate at which an item falls out
of suspended is determined by its form and weight. And size, in
addition to the viscosity of the liquid (Suryakanta, 2015). Because
the sphere's time of travel may be measured within a 1-meter
radius. Using the timer and the dimensions of the sphere and
container. The viscosity of a liquid may be calculated.

OBJECTIVES

The purpose of this experiment is to use the Falling Sphere


Viscometer technique. The purpose of this experiment is to
determine the viscosity of a liquid, namely glycerin. Both the
dynamics and kinematics must be identified, as well as the
diameter ratio and speed of falling steel balls are related.

CONCLUSION

Viscosity is the quality of fluid that opposes the flow or


movement of the object. The experiment found that the viscosity
of the liquid relies on the deformation drag and buoyant force of
the fluid as a reaction to the weight applied by the falling sphere
once it was put in the viscometer holding the fluid, which in this
experiment is glycerin. Thus, the experiment demonstrates the
applicability of Stoke's law principles to bodies spherical. It is also
possible to assume that the greater the diameter of the spherical,
its velocity increases but remains constant for the time it moves
between the two viscometer points

It is also possible to deduce that the value of the viscosity


would be affected by the ratio of the sphere's diameter to the
medium's diameter (viscometer), which is the constant K, and the
difference of the sphere's specific weight to the liquid's specific
weight as the value of viscosity varies as these components vary.
Furthermore, the kinematic viscosity is determined by the density
of the liquid.
It is also possible to assume that there are only minor variances in
the value of the fluid viscosity for each attempt even though the
diameters of the steel balls are employed. This is due to mistake
sources that caused limited damage. Errors in calculation, such as
the time that the steel ball was measured in the viscometer, I
traveled one meter.

APPLICATION TO ENGINEERING

One notable use of viscosity in engineering is for by estimating


the flow velocity at which turbulence will occur Reynold's Number.
Other technical uses of viscosity include the utilization of
Convectional viscosity, which is similarly affected by Reynold's
Number Viscosity also contributes to the formation of boundary
layers, which are required in turbo machines also develops
lubricants for use in bearing operations to reduce friction between
two surfaces that are constantly spinning. The measurement of
viscosity is crucial in civil engineering because it provides engineers
with information on the behavior of fluids. They require such
information when they develop structures that require fluid
movement, such as centrifugal pumps and dams.
