27.
A dilatant fluid is one in which the viscosity
is constant regardless of the stirrer speed or mixing time
changes during mixing but returns to its original state after mixing
increases with increasing stirrer speed
decreases with increasing stirrer speed

28.
A rheopectic fluid is one in which the viscosity
is constant regardless of the stirrer speed or mixing time
changes during mixing but returns to its original state after mixing
increases with mixing time
decreases with mixing time
