Capillary tube method of viscosity measurement is based on the ________________?

Correct answer: A. Hagen-Poiseuille's equation

  • A. Hagen-Poiseuille's equation
  • B. Stoke's law
  • C. Navier-stokes equation
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Flow through a capillary is related to pressure drop, tube radius, length, and viscosity by the Hagen–Poiseuille equation. Stokes' law applies to the motion of small particles through a fluid, not to capillary flow.
