Digestion Essay The path of digestion begins in the mouth when food is broken down mechanically, into smaller pieces, by the teeth and tongue. The complex carbohydrates found in the food are also broken down chemically with the help of the enzyme (ptyalin), found in saliva.
apparent viscosity. (fluid mechanics). The value obtained by applying the instrumental equations used in obtaining the viscosity of a Newtonian fluid to viscometer measurements of a non-Newtonian fluid. 1  Facebook. 2  Twitter.
Convert between the viscosity units Centiposes, milliPascal, CentiStokes and SSU. Viscosity of a fluid is its resistance to shear or flow, and a measure of a fluid adhesive/cohesive or frictional properties. This arises because of the internal molecular friction within the fluid producing the frictional drag effect. There are two related measures of fluid viscosity which are known as dynamic and kinematic viscosity.
