What makes kinematic viscosity differ from dynamic ?

Absolute (or Dynamic) Viscosity:

  •  This is a measure of how resistive the flow of a fluid is between two layers of fluid in motion. 
  • A value can be obtained directly from a rotational viscometer which measures the force needed to rotate a spindle in the fluid
    • SI unit          - mPa.s    .
    • cgs unit        - cP  .
Kinematic Viscosity:

  •  This is a measure of how resistive the flow of a fluid is under the influence of gravity.
  •  Kinematic viscometers usually use the force of gravity to cause the fluid to flow through a calibrated orifice, while timing its flow.
    • SI unit          - mm^2.s   .
    • cgs unit        - cSt(centi stroke).

Milk from crops???? What is Crop milk?

Will there be no need of Cow in future??????? A known fact is that -  Crop milk contains more fat and protein content as compared to human or cow milk. But  What is this Crop milk? Is it true that crops produce milk? Crop milk  is a secretion from the lining of the  crop  ( thin-walled expanded portion of the alimentary tract   )of parent birds that is  regurgitated (bring up to the mouth)  to young birds. It is found among all  pigeons and doves   where it is referred to as  pigeon milk . Why to know about this:- The crop milk is produced by pigeons about 3 days before parturirtion. And it is essential for the faster growth of young ones. An analog to crop milk is also secreted from the esophagus of  flamingos  and some pe nguins. Who will give me Shelter????

Vitamins in MILK

Vitamins are organic substances which occur in very small concentrations in both plants and animals. They are essential to normal life processes. The chemical composition of vitamins is usually very complex, but that of most vitamins is now known. The various vitamins are designated by capital let- ters, sometimes followed by numerical subscripts, e.g. A, B1 and B2.  Milk contains many vitamins.  Among the best known are A, B1, B2, C and D. Vitamins A and D are soluble in fat, or fat solvents, while the others are soluble in water. Lack of vitamins can result in defi- ciency diseases

Ice-cream or Frozen desert. Are we being cheated ?

CURRENT SCENARIO We, the people of INDIA are very less aware about the Dairy Sector. For us it is only confined to the milkman who gives us milk and the seller who supplies us dahi, ghee, butter,ice-cream. And just because of our this little knowledge, the one who have more are able to cheat on us by providing a low quality product at such a high price of the product with superior quality. When talking about Ice-cream, the first thing that comes to our mind is one of the delicious, mouth cooling, taste enhancer or the party ending dish which is being preferred in summers. Now-a-days many manufacturers compromise with the raw materials and gives us a low quality product at the price of the Ice- cream and the sufferer is the consumer. When you see the picture on the carton, you would think it is any ordinary ice cream. Only when you turn it around to look for a title, you see a much smaller font there, and it says - Frozen Dessert .
