1. What is Static Viscosity?

Static viscosity is the viscosity of continuous flow, which measures the ratio of the viscous force to the inertial force on the fluid. It represents the internal resistance of a fluid to flow under static conditions.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Static Viscosity formula:

\[ \mu_e = \frac{\mu_w}{T_w / T_{static}} \]

Where:

\( \mu_e \) — Static Viscosity (Pascal Second)
\( \mu_w \) — Wall Viscosity (Pascal Second)
\( T_w \) — Wall Temperature (Kelvin)
\( T_{static} \) — Static Temperature (Kelvin)

Explanation: This formula calculates the static viscosity by dividing the wall viscosity by the ratio of wall temperature to static temperature.

3. Importance of Static Viscosity Calculation

Details: Accurate static viscosity calculation is crucial for fluid dynamics analysis, heat transfer calculations, and designing efficient fluid systems in various engineering applications.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter wall viscosity in Pascal Second, wall temperature in Kelvin, and static temperature in Kelvin. All values must be positive numbers greater than zero.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the difference between static viscosity and dynamic viscosity?
A: Static viscosity refers to the viscosity under static conditions, while dynamic viscosity refers to viscosity when the fluid is in motion.

Q2: Why is temperature important in viscosity calculations?
A: Temperature significantly affects viscosity as most fluids become less viscous when heated and more viscous when cooled.

Q3: What are typical units for viscosity measurement?
A: The SI unit is Pascal Second (Pa·s), but other common units include Poise (P) and Centipoise (cP).

Q4: How does wall viscosity differ from static viscosity?
A: Wall viscosity is the viscosity of fluid near the wall during turbulent flow, while static viscosity is the viscosity of continuous flow.

Q5: What factors can affect viscosity measurements?
A: Temperature, pressure, fluid composition, and shear rate can all affect viscosity measurements.
