Calculate Dynamic Viscosity







Formula

The formula to calculate the Dynamic Viscosity (μ) is:

\[ \mu = A \cdot e^{\left(\frac{B}{T}\right)} \]

Definition

Dynamic Viscosity Fluid is the measure of fluid's resistance to flow when an external shear force is applied between the layers of fluid. Experimental Constant 'A' is the empirical constant according to the conditions given by Arrhenius dynamic viscosity equation for liquids. Experimental Constant 'B' is the empirical constant according to the conditions given by Arrhenius dynamic viscosity equation for liquids. Absolute temperature of fluid refers to the measurement of intensity of heat energy present in fluid in kelvin scale. Where 0 K, represents as the absolute zero temperature.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \mu = 0.04785 \cdot e^{\left(\frac{149.12}{293}\right)} \approx 0.0795999207638759 \]

The Dynamic Viscosity is approximately 0.0795999207638759 Pascal Second.
