Coefficient of viscosity symbol

Properties: Dynamic Viscosity Fluid Properties: Dynamic Viscosity SYMBOL: m DEFINITION: Shear stress (t) in a Newtonian fluid is linearly proportional to the time rate of angular strain (dV/dy). The dynamic viscosity (m) is the coefficient of proportionality so that t = m (dV/dy) Unlike a solid, a fluid deforms continuously under the action of a shear stress. A non-Newtonian fluid is a fluid where the shear stress is not linearly proportional to the rate-of-strain. UNITS (SI): Pa s CHARACTERISTICS: • How does DYNAMIC VISCOSITY vary with temperature in air and water?

By • What is mu ( µ)? The lowercase Greek letter µ (pronounced mu) generally represents the prefix multiplier 0.000001, i.e., 10 -6 or one millionth. For example, 0.000001 -6 F of electrical -9 farad is written as 0.001 µF. More about µ The symbol μ is the lowercase representation of the 12th letter of the Greek alphabet. The uppercase representation M is the same as the Latin/English letter M. Mu originated from the Phoenician letter mem, which itself evolved from the Egyptian hieroglyphic for water. Like many other Greek letters, μ is used to represent several real-world quantities and phenomena across multiple academic and practical streams including the following: • Physics • Biology • Chemistry • Engineering • Pharmacology • Computer science • Mathematics In some texts, the symbol µ is an abbreviation for micrometers or microns. It is used to represent many real-world quantities, including The letter µ in physics: Coefficient of friction In physics, the letter μ is commonly used to represent the coefficient of friction and magnetic permeability. The coefficient of friction refers to the ratio of the frictional force (F) resisting the motion of two surfaces that are in contact to the normal force (N) that's pressing the two surfaces together. The frictional force and the motion of the object are in opposite directions. Mathematically, the coefficient of friction is represented as: μ = F/N The coefficient of friction is dimensionless because both F and N are measured in...

The values listed in this article are representative estimates only, as they do not account for measurement uncertainties, variability in material definitions, or non-Newtonian behavior. Kinematic viscosity is dynamic viscosity divided by fluid density. This page lists only dynamic viscosity. Units and conversion factors [ ] For dynamic viscosity, the SI unit is Pascal-second. In engineering, the unit is usually Poise or centiPoise, with 1 Poise = 0.1 Pascal-second, and 1 centiPoise = 0.01 Poise. For kinematic viscosity, the SI unit is m^2/s. In engineering, the unit is usually Stoke or centiStoke, with 1 Stoke = 0.0001 m^2/s, and 1 centiStoke = 0.01 Stoke. For liquid, the dynamic viscosity is usually in the range of 0.001 to 1 Pascal-second, or 1 to 1000 centiPoise. The density is usually on the order of 1000 kg/m^3, i.e. that of water. Consequently, if a liquid has dynamic viscosity of n centiPoise, and its density is not too different from that of water, then its kinematic viscosity is around n centiStokes. For gas, the dynamic viscosity is usually in the range of 10 to 20 microPascal-seconds, or 0.01 to 0.02 centiPoise. The density is usually on the order of 0.5 to 5 kg/m^3. Consequently, its kinematic viscosity is around 2 to 40 centiStokes. Viscosities at or near standard conditions [ ] Here "standard conditions" refers to temperatures of 25°C and pressures of 1 The temperatures corresponding to each data point are stated explicitly. By contrast, pressure is omitted ...

Fluid Properties John R. Fanchi, in Shared Earth Modeling, 2002 Viscosity The coefficient of viscosity is a measure of resistance to flow of the fluid. In general, gas viscosity is less than liquid viscosity. The inverse of viscosity is called fluidity [ McCain, 1990]. Thus, a fluid with a large viscosity has a low fluidity. Two types of viscosity are commonly used: dynamic viscosity μ and kinematic viscosity ν. Dynamic viscosity is related to kinematic viscosity by the equation μ = ρν where ρ is the density of the fluid. The unit of dynamic viscosity μ is centipoise. If fluid density ρ has the unit of g/cc, then kinematic viscosity ν has the unit of centistoke. Thus, 1 centistoke equals 1 centipoise divided by 1 g/cc. Dynamic viscosity μ is used in Darcy's law to calculate the rate of fluid flow in porous media. The relationship between viscosity and flow rate defines the rheology of the fluid. A fluid is considered a non-Newtonian fluid if the viscosity of the fluid depends on flow rate. If the viscosity does not depend on flow rate, the fluid is called a Newtonian fluid.

Consider fluid A and another fluid B. One is hair oil and another is milk, each of these is filled in one container. Now, let’s compare the two by pouring them into another container by switching on the timer. Here, we would notice that the milk takes less time as compared to the hair oil, do you know why? It’s because the hair oil is more viscous or it is denser than the milk. So, why do we consider these terms as different when both of these carry the same meaning? (Image will be Uploaded soon) Difference Between Viscosity and Density In the above example, we took two fluids viz: hair oil and milk. Now, let’s understand how viscosity is related to density. Now, let’s take a look at another example. Consider fluid A as honey and another as water. At the microscopic level, honey has tightly bound particles, whereas water has particles that are far apart. So, when we differentiate in terms of the distance each particle bears from another particle in a fluid, then it is density. Now, let’s understand an example of a pickle. Let’s suppose that you have a big jar of pickles and want to transfer some pieces of it into the small jar, you would notice that the layers of oil come along with each piece and it takes a bit of time to reach another jar. You might have wondered why this happened? Ummm, quite yes! Well, it is because there is friction between the two layers and this friction hampers the fast flow of fluid, i.e., oil and the pickle pieces. So, the friction caused is call...
