The Hele-Shaw clutch was a wet clutch that relied entirely on viscous effects, rather than on friction.

The sequestration of oxygen carrying proteins inside specialized cells ( rather than having them dissolved in body fluid ) was an important step in the evolution of vertebrates as it allows for less viscous blood, higher concentrations of oxygen, and better diffusion of oxygen from the blood to the tissues.

By forcing water through a perforated cylinder, he was able to measure the slight viscous heating of the fluid.

On one hand, it was clear that viscous stresses would eventually cause the matter towards the center to heat up and radiate away some of its gravitational energy.

The arm damping was via a viscous silicon fluid held in a well, and magnetic repelling force supported the arm, and provided anti-skate ( bias compensation ).

The name " rayon " was adopted in 1924, with " viscose " being used for the viscous organic liquid used to make both rayon and cellophane.

Cadillac set apart the GM transmission from other corporate models it was shared with by the Cadillac-exclusive viscous converter clutch, which provided even smoother shifting under hard acceleration.

The Eagle's thick viscous fluid center differential provided quiet and smooth transfer of power that was directed proportionally to the axle with the greatest traction.

In the case of d ' Alembert's paradox, the essential mechanism for its resolution was provided by Prandtl through the discovery and modelling of thin viscous boundary layers – which are non-vanishing at high Reynolds numbers.

( 1967 ) suggested that there was a change from particulate flow to a viscous fluid involving the entire cooling unit in the last few metres en masse.

At the rear axle, torque was first sent through a viscous coupling before reaching the final drive gearset.

This coupling contained friction plates and an oil just viscous enough so that pressure affected how many plates were connected and active ( and therefore, how much power was being delivered to the rear wheels ).

The aforementioned viscous coupling 4WD system was found in the Mk2 generation of transverse-engined A2-platform vehicles, including the Volkswagen Golf Mk2 and Jetta.

Note that the Vanagon system was RWD-biased, due to the vehicle being rear-wheel drive by default ; the engine and transaxle were in the rear, whereas the viscous coupling was found in the front axle near the final drive.

The forme is mounted on a printing press, a thin coating of viscous ink is applied and impressions made on paper under great pressure in the press.

The binders form hydrophilic films on the surface of the granules, which can aid the wetting of hydrophobic drugs ; but added in too great concentrations, the films can form viscous gels on the surface, which will retard dissolution.

They show, however, that in viscous semi-solid glasses near their fusion point crystallization tends to nucleate at certain centers and to spread outwards, producing spherulitic structures.

It is characterized by abnormal transport of chloride and sodium across an epithelium, leading to thick, viscous secretions.

It produced a slow and viscous a ' a lava which has a very rough surface, making travel across it even more difficult.

In fluid dynamics, the capillary number represents the relative effect of viscous forces versus surface tension acting across an interface between a liquid and a gas, or between two immiscible liquids.

However a noiseless, fully automatic Ferguson viscous coupling balances the torque split to give the optimal division between front and rear axles depending on road conditions and tyre grip.

Since the mantle is extremely viscous, the mantle flow rate varies in pulses which are reflected in the lithosphere by small amplitude, long wavelength undulations.

The viscous oil is light to very dark green to dark red in colour depending on the thickness of the observed sample.

The cap ( pileus ) of Psilocybe azurescens is 30 – 100 mm in diameter, conic to convex, expanding to broadly convex and eventually flattening with age with a pronounced, persistent broad umbo ; surface smooth, viscous when moist, covered by a separable gelatinous pellicle ; chestnut to ochraceous brown to caramel in color often becoming pitted with dark blue or bluish black zones, hygrophanous, fading to light straw color in drying, strongly bruising blue when damaged ; margin even, sometimes irregular and eroded at maturity, slightly incurved at first, soon decurved, flattening with maturity, translucent striate and often leaving a fibrillose annular zone in the upper regions of the stipe.

Plum sauce is a viscous, light brown sweet and sour condiment.

This means at least reducing its viscosity so that it can be pumped through pipelines ( bitumen is 1000x more viscous than light crude oil ), and often separating out heavy fractions and reducing sulfur, nitrogen and metals like nickel and vanadium.

As with all white teas, it is best prepared with water below boiling ( at around 75 to 80 degrees Celsius or 167 to 176 degrees Fahrenheit ) and produces a slightly viscous glittering pale yellow color with evidence of floating white hairs that reflect light.

It is sweet, viscous, and light yellowish brown in color, with a strength of about 21 % alcohol.

Asphalt or or, also known as bitumen, is the sticky, black and highly viscous liquid or semi-solid present in most crude petroleums and in some natural deposits ; it is a substance classed as a pitch.

Conversely, an adiabatic process that is irreversible and extracts no work is in an isenthalpic process, such as viscous drag, progressing towards a nonnegative change in entropy.

Some problems may encounter only very small viscous effects on the solution, in which case viscosity can be considered to be negligible.

Flows for which viscosity cannot be neglected are called viscous flows.

Above, h is enthalpy, k is the thermal conductivity of the fluid, T is temperature, and is the viscous dissipation function.

The viscous dissipation function governs the rate at which mechanical energy of the flow is converted to heat.

Hypersonic flow is characterized by high temperature flow behind a shock wave, viscous interaction, and chemical dissociation of gas.

In addition, if all human hemoglobin were free in the plasma rather than being contained in RBCs, the circulatory fluid would be too viscous for the cardiovascular system to function effectively.

Consider, for instance, particles suspended in a viscous fluid in a gravitational field.

The internal chamber is filled with a viscous ink that is dispensed at its tip during use by the rolling action of a small sphere.

Since, when tried, this viscous ink would not flow into a regular fountain pen nib, Bíró, with the help of his brother György, a chemist, began to work on designing new types of pens.

The refill replaces the entire internal ink reservoir and ball point unit rather than actually refilling it with ink, as it takes special high-speed centrifugation to properly fill a ball point reservoir with the viscous ink.

However, Space Pens, developed by Fisher in the United States, combine a more viscous than normal ballpoint pen ink with a gas-pressured piston which forces the ink toward the point.

Glasses containing both boron and phosphorus ( borophosphosilicate glass, BPSG ) undergo viscous flow at lower temperatures ; around 850 ° C is achievable with glasses containing around 5 weight % of both constituents, but stability in air can be difficult to achieve.

The viscous liquid within it is called nucleoplasm, and is similar in composition to the cytosol found outside the nucleus.

Discharge, or the purulent exudate, is generally less viscous and lighter in color than for gonorrhea.

As a result, the magma is much less viscous than the magma of a rhyolitic volcano, and the magma chamber is drained by large lava flows rather than by explosive events.
