Lågviskös

Lågviskös is a Swedish term that translates to "low viscosity" in English. Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. A low-viscosity fluid is one that flows easily and readily.

Examples of low-viscosity fluids include water, ethanol, and gasoline. In contrast, high-viscosity fluids, such as honey, molasses, and engine oil, resist flow much more strongly. The concept of viscosity is important in many scientific and engineering fields. For instance, in fluid dynamics, viscosity affects how fluids move through pipes or around objects. In materials science, the viscosity of liquids is a critical property for processes like pouring, spraying, and coating. In the field of lubrication, low viscosity is often desirable for certain applications to reduce friction, while in others, higher viscosity is needed to maintain a separating film between moving parts. The temperature of a fluid also significantly influences its viscosity; generally, liquids become less viscous as their temperature increases.
