When honey flows faster than water – Science Daily
Physicists surprised to find that in specially coated tubes, the more viscous a liquid is, the faster it flows.
It’s widely known that thick, viscous liquids — like honey — flow more slowly than low-viscosity liquids, like water. Researchers were surprised to find this behaviour flipped on its head when the liquids flow through chemically coated capillaries. In fact, through these specially coated tubes, liquids a thousand times more viscous flow ten times faster.The speed at which different fluids flow through pipes is important for a large range of applications: from industrial processes such as oil r…
