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.
