Viscosity vs. Consistency

Viscositynoun

(uncountable) The state of being viscous.

Viscositynoun

A quantity expressing the magnitude of internal friction in a fluid, as measured by the force per unit area resisting uniform flow.

Viscositynoun

A tendency to prolong interpersonal encounters.

Viscositynoun

The quality or state of being viscous.

Viscositynoun

A property possessed by a viscous fluid, being a resistance to the forces causing a fluid to flow, caused by interactions between the molecules of the fluid and between the fluid and the walls of the conduit through which it moves; also, a measure of such a property.

Viscositynoun

resistance of a liquid to sheer forces (and hence to flow)

Viscosity

The viscosity of a fluid is a measure of its resistance to deformation at a given rate. For liquids, it corresponds to the informal concept of : for example, syrup has a higher viscosity than water.Viscosity can be conceptualized as quantifying the internal frictional force that arises between adjacent layers of fluid that are in relative motion.

Consistencynoun

Local coherence.

Consistencynoun

Correspondence or compatibility.

Consistencynoun

Reliability or uniformity; the quality of being consistent.

Consistencynoun

The degree of viscosity of something.

Consistencynoun

(logic) Freedom from contradiction; the state of a system of axioms such that none of the propositions deduced from them are mutually contradictory.

Consistencynoun

(obsolete) Firmness of constitution or character; substantiality; durability; persistency.

Consistencynoun

the property of holding together and retaining its shape;

Consistencynoun

a harmonious uniformity or agreement among things or parts

Consistencynoun

logical coherence and accordance with the facts;

Consistencynoun

(logic) an attribute of a logical system that is so constituted that none of the propositions deducible from the axioms contradict one another

Consistencynoun

consistent behaviour or treatment

Consistencynoun

the quality of achieving a level of performance which does not vary greatly in quality over time

Consistencynoun

the way in which a substance holds together; thickness or viscosity

Consistency

In classical deductive logic, a consistent theory is one that does not lead to a logical contradiction. The lack of contradiction can be defined in either semantic or syntactic terms.
