Kinematic Viscosity vs Dynamic Viscosity (mu)
Fórmula
## Viscosity Conversion Dynamic viscosity measures the shear resistance of a fluid. Kinematic viscosity is the ratio of dynamic viscosity to density. ### Formula **nu = mu / rho** where mu is dynamic viscosity (Pa-s), rho is density (kg/m^3), and nu is kinematic viscosity (m^2/s). Kinematic viscosity is what appears in the Reynolds number formula.
Ejemplo Resuelto
Water at 20 deg C: mu = 0.001 Pa-s, rho = 998 kg/m^3.
- 01nu = 0.001 / 1000 = 1.0 x 10^-6 m^2/s
- 02In centistokes: 1.0 x 10^-6 x 10^6 = 1.0 cSt
Preguntas Frecuentes
What are common units for viscosity?
Dynamic: Pa-s (SI), cP (centipoise, 1 cP = 0.001 Pa-s). Kinematic: m^2/s (SI), cSt (centistokes, 1 cSt = 10^-6 m^2/s). Water at 20 deg C is about 1 cP or 1 cSt.
How does temperature affect viscosity?
For liquids, viscosity decreases with increasing temperature (molecules move faster, less cohesion). For gases, viscosity increases with temperature (more molecular collisions).
What is meant by a Newtonian fluid?
A Newtonian fluid has constant viscosity regardless of shear rate. Water, air, and most common fluids are Newtonian. Non-Newtonian fluids (paint, ketchup, blood) change viscosity with shear rate.
