Venner Via Recta iv. 80 The Perch is..a little inferiour.., by reason of some viscosity in it. 1669 R. Boyle Contin. New Exper. Physico-mech. (1682) ii. 140 That liquor is very thin, and hath no viscosity to resist the pervading body. 1686 J. Goad Astro-meteorologica i. ix. 31 Rarity is nothing but a Privation of Density,..Friability of Viscosity. 1733 G. Cheyne Eng. Malady iii. iv. 304 The Phlegm in the Glands..is nothing but the Viscosity of the Serum of the Blood. 1771 T. Percival Ess. Med. & Exper. (1777) I. 190 To dissolve a general lentor and viscosity of the whole mass of fluids. 1821 W. P. C. Barton Flora N. Amer. (new ed.) I. 65 The extreme viscosity of its pubescence, has caused it to receive the specific name it bears. 1899 T. C. Allbutt et al. Syst. Med.

Engineer 16 Sept. 287/1 Up to the frequency tried—i.e., about 125 per second—there is no sign of magnetic viscosity; the magnetic cycle is unaffected [etc.]. c. In scientific use, the tendency of a liquid or gas to resist by internal friction the relative motion of its molecules and hence any change of shape; the magnitude of this, as measured by the force per unit area resisting a flow in which parallel layers unit distance apart have unit speed relative to one another; also called absolute or dynamic viscosity; kinematic viscosity, the dynamic viscosity divided by the density of the fluid.

C. Maxwell in Philos. Trans. (Royal Soc.) 156 249 The viscosity of a body is the resistance which it offers to a continuous change of form, depending on the rate at which that change is effected. 1866 J. C. Maxwell in Philos. Trans. (Royal Soc.) 156 254 Suppose that this friction is equal to a tangential force f on every square foot, then f = μυ/a, where μ is the coefficient of viscosity, υ the velocity of the upper plane, and a the distance between them. 1880 Proc. London Math. Soc. 11 58 If ν be the kinematic viscosity. 1913 R. M. Deeley & P. H. Parr in London, Edinb., & Dublin Philos. Mag. 6th Ser. 26 87 It would be a distinct advantage to have a name for the unit of viscosity expressed in C.G.S. units, and we would suggest that the word Poise be used for this; for it is to Poiseuille that we owe the experimental demonstration that when a liquid flows through a capillary tube..at constant temperature, the viscosity is constant at all rates of shear, provided that the flow is not turbulent. 1921 A. W. Judge Automobile & Aircraft Engines viii. 309 The kinematical viscosity of air is thirteen times that of water. 1927 Schoder & Dawson Hydraulics xvi. 275 The unit of absolute viscosity is called a poise. 1943 R. C. Binder Fluid Mech. v. 50 Viscosity = shearing stress/rate of shearing strain. Sometimes the foregoing term is called absolute viscosity. Probably a better term would be dynamic viscosity. 1962 J. M. McKelvey Polymer Processing ii. 41 In general, liquid viscosities decrease and gas viscosities increase with increasing temperature. 1964 Sabersky & Acosta Fluid Flow i. 10 In the c.g.s. system,..the unit of absolute viscosity..is called a poise, and the unit of kinematic viscosity, 1 cm.2/sec., is called a stoke. 1979 C. A. Marchaj Aero-hydrodynam. of Sailing ii. 169 The kinematic viscosity of water..needed for Reynolds Number computation at the ‘normal’ temperature of 15°C is..1·23 × 10−5 ft2/sec. 2. A viscous substance; a collection of viscous matter. Cf. viscidity n. 2.

French Art Distillation v. 143 It openeth obstructions, and purgeth viscosities of the stomack and bowells. 1707 J. Floyer Physician's Pulse-watch 297 These Viscosities depend on Heat. 1794 R. J. Sulivan View of Nature I. 493 The sand..has, by the means of a calcareous viscosity infiltrated by the sea, become so hard, as to become stone. Compounds viscosity index n. a number expressing the degree to which the viscosity of an oil is unaffected by temperature. ΘΚΠ the world > matter > chemistry > physical chemistry > viscosity > [noun] > of an oil viscosity index1929 1929 Dean & Davis in Chem. & Metallurgical Engin. XXXVI. 618/1 This system of classification permits expressing the viscosity-temperature coefficient of an oil as a simple function of its Saybolt Universal viscosities at 100 and 210 deg. F. This function, hereafter referred to as the ‘viscosity index’, is independent of the actual viscosity of the oil. 1977 Lubricants Business (Shell Internat. Petroleum Co.) 3 These [additives] are chemical compounds which supplement the properties of the mineral base oil; for example, to reduce wear of moving parts..and to improve viscosity index.
