Question

Difference between plastic viscosity and apparent viscosity of a drilling fluid

Answer 1

Answer:

Explained below...

Explanation:

Plastics, which are non-newtonian solids, can and do flow as a liquid, relative to outside forces. ... For a Newtonian fluid, the apparent viscosity is constant, and equal to the Newtonian viscosity of the fluid, but for non-Newtonian fluids, the apparent viscosity depends on the shear rate.
