Effect of temperature on viscosity of liquids and gases

What is the effect of temperature on viscosity of a liquid and why?

Answered by admin @



The former effect causes a decrease in the shear stress while the latter causes it to increase. The result is that liquids show a reduction in viscosity with increasing temperature. With high temperatures, viscosity increases in gases and decreases in liquids, the drag force will do the same.
