A Virtual Experiment simulates a series of viscosity experiments.
Viscosity is a very important subject in both chemistry and chemical engineering.
It is important when dealing with intermolecular forces in liquids and gases and it also has an enormous relevance in all technological aspects of equipment dealing with liquids or gases. Most university-level chemistry courses include viscosity to some extent. The falling-ball viscometer simulator allows the student to determine experimentally the size and density of the ball required to measure viscosity of various liquids. Each virtual experiment includes a corresponding theoretical section. Support from the program is sufficient to enable the students to carry out a virtual experiment sensibly and on their own.
