Viscosity of a Slurry
The viscosity of a slurry, abbreviated \(\eta_s\), slurry being a mixture of liquids and solids, is comparitive to the viscosity of the liquid phase.

\(\large{ \mu }\) (Greek symbol mu) = dynamic viscosity | \(\large{\frac{lbf-sec}{ft^2}}\) | \(\large{Pa-s}\) |
\(\large{ \eta_r }\) (Greek symbol eta) = relative viscosity | \(\large{\frac{lbf-sec}{ft^2}}\) | \(\large{Pa-s}\) |
