In summary, colloidal suspensions and polymer solutions are examples of non-Newtonian fluids that exhibit shear rate dependent viscosity. They are commonly used in the flow of fluid, and can be researched further using Google or other search engines and clarified through discussions on PF.'

Hi and welcome to PF.
Look at what Google (other engines are available) has to say and then ask PF for clarification about what you have learned. That's the deal.

' The viscosity of non-Newtonian fluid is not independent of shear rate. Examples include slurries and colloidal suspensions, polymer solutions '
These two words, in this sense which I have to use! they depends on non-Newtonian fluid.

1. What is a colloidal suspension?
A colloidal suspension is a type of mixture in which tiny particles, usually between 1 to 1000 nanometers in size, are dispersed in a continuous medium, such as a liquid, gas, or solid. These particles do not dissolve in the medium and remain suspended, giving the mixture a cloudy or milky appearance.
2. How are colloidal suspensions formed?
Colloidal suspensions can be formed through a variety of processes, including condensation from a vapor, precipitation, chemical reactions, and mechanical dispersion. In most cases, the particles are initially in a solid or liquid state and are then dispersed into the medium through agitation or chemical reactions.
3. What are some examples of colloidal suspensions?
Some common examples of colloidal suspensions include milk, fog, ink, and blood. Many food products, such as mayonnaise, salad dressings, and whipped cream, also contain colloidal suspensions. In addition, many industrial and medical applications utilize colloidal suspensions, such as in paints, cosmetics, and drug delivery systems.
4. What is a polymer solution?
A polymer solution is a type of mixture in which a polymer is dissolved in a solvent. Polymers are large molecules made up of repeating units, and the solvent can be a liquid, gas, or solid. Polymer solutions can vary in concentration and viscosity, depending on the type and amount of polymer and solvent used.
5. How are polymer solutions used?
Polymer solutions have a wide range of applications in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, adhesives, and coatings. They are also used in biomedical engineering, such as in tissue engineering and drug delivery. In addition, polymer solutions can be used in everyday products, such as contact lenses, detergents, and food packaging materials.
