Calculate Dynamic Viscosity



Formula

To calculate the Dynamic Viscosity (\(μ\)):

\[ μ = ρ \times ν \]

Where:

What is Dynamic Viscosity?

Dynamic viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. It describes the internal friction of a moving fluid. A fluid with large viscosity resists motion because its molecular makeup gives it a lot of internal friction. A fluid with low viscosity flows easily because its molecular makeup results in very little friction when it is in motion. It is an important property in the study of fluid dynamics and is typically measured in pascal-seconds (Pa·s).

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ μ = 1000 \times 0.001 = 1 \]

The Dynamic Viscosity is 1 Pa·s.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ μ = 850 \times 0.0008 = 0.68 \]

The Dynamic Viscosity is 0.68 Pa·s.
