Highway paving Inc. is a company specializing in residential road surfacing. Many of its clients seek out its specialized products. Recycled rubber can be added to asphalt mixture to reduce road noise which appeals to environmentally conscious clients. However the viscosity (resistance of flow) must be maintained within very tight limits otherwise it may be too thick or too watery. The goal is a viscosity of 3200. During the manufacturing of each batch of asphalt, the quality control specialists takes 15 samples of the material and tests the viscosity. This also ensures the batch has uniform viscosity.

Viscosity
The measure of the resistance of a fluid to flow is known as viscosity. Most fluids have some resistance to motion, the resistance provided by the fluid is called viscosity. This resistance is created by the force of attraction between the fluid molecules. If you pour water through a funnel, it flows easily and quickly, because it has very little resistance. But if you pour honey through a funnel, it may take a little time longer, as the density of honey is high.
Poiseuille's Law
The law of Poiseuille or Poiseuille's equation states that the pressure drop of an incompressible fluid especially a liquid in a laminar flow that passes through a cylindrical tube of length L, radius r, pressure gradient ΔP, and mainly depends on the viscosity of the fluid is nothing but the pressure difference of the layers of fluids. ΔP=P1-P2
Drag Forces
Forces that occur due to the movement of fluid are known as fluid mechanics. Following are the fluids present:
