When we mix additives in the oil/fluid, the forces which are present in the fluid opposes the forces of additives. This opposition makes a couple force and hence a couple stress is induced in the fluid. This type of fluid is known as couple stress fluid.

What is the definition of working stress in strength of materials?

it is defined is the stress in the material(steel,Al,etc) that will not be exceeded under normal operating condition


Physics definition for breaking point with respect to a stress versus strain graph?

Fracture point


What definition of discharge in terms of fluid mechanics?

Discharge in fluid mechanics is simply a volumetric flow rate of liquid at the exit and it can simply be claculated by the equation of continuity q=(crossectional area of pipe)(velocity of fluid)


What is the science definition of stress force?

Shear force is a load (pounds, or newtons) in plane of the object which produces shear stress ( pounds per sq inch, or Pascals). Shear force is related to shear stress as STRESS = FORCE/AREA


What is turbulent viscocity?

Turbulent viscosity is a value which is assumed to be equal in all directions. It is the same as Eddy Viscosity This is a measure of a fluid which is being deformed by stress. The fact that it is turbulent just means it is changing so the internal friction or viscosity is changing constantly and this is why it is called turbulent. the internal friction is the friction within the object hence the term internal however this friction derives from the force of the fluid acting on the object. E.G if air is your fluid surrounding the object and the object is experiencing a change in the velocity of the air it will be exposed to a different amount of stress and will therefore have a different value for internal friction.
