Does Viscosity Increase Or Decrease With Temperature? The viscosity of liquids decreases rapidly with an increase in temperature, and the viscosity of gases increases with an increase in temperature. Thus, upon heating, liquids flow more easily, whereas gases flow more sluggishly. Which statement is true about viscosity? The smaller the molecules, the more viscous the

What Is Considered High Viscosity?

What Is Considered High Viscosity? Fluids with low viscosity have a low resistance and shear easily and the molecules flow quickly; high viscosity fluids move sluggishly and resist deformation. Some liquids, like pitch, glass and peanut butter, have such high viscosity they behave like solids. … For example, water at 20°C has a viscosity of
