Question

Difference between viscosity and consistency

Answer 1

• viscocity is the property of relative friction between substance and surface , if it is high substance can easily flow
• consistency is the regularity of uniform motion of substance to be flow

Answer 2

viscosity is the quantity that describes a fluid's resistance to flow. Fluids resist the relative motion of immersed objects through them as well as to the motion of layers with differing velocities within them

viscosity (represented by the symbol η "eta") is the ratio of the shearing stress (F/A) to the velocity gradient  in a fluid

Viscosity is first and foremost a function of material.Most ordinary liquids have viscosities on the order of 1 to 1,000 mPa s, while gases have viscosities on the order of 1 to 10 μPa s .

consistency also refers to uniformity or compatibility between things or parts. Consistency usually implies a positive sense of dependability. If you show consistency at the work place, your manager can depend on you.
