What determines the viscosity of MR fluid?
A. The viscosity of an MR fluid depends on a number of factors, including viscosity of the liquid carrier, the volume fraction of particles, the amount and type of additives and the shear rate at which viscosity is measured. The additives in the fluid play a very big role in the viscosity at low shear rates, causing the viscosity to increase rapidly as one goes to lower shear rate.
