Abstract
Viscosity and rheology are often confused in the literature although they are significantly different concepts. The viscosity of a fluid or suspension is an indication of its fluidity. “Heavy” or “thick” fluids such as heavy oils, or molasses, are recognized as those having high viscosity. Water, many lubricating and cooking oils, coffee, and tea have low viscosities. Air is a fluid with very low viscosity.
