HomeFluid Mechanics Explain Newton’s Law of Viscosity? byPratik kamal -February 11, 2022 0 Newton’s Law of Viscosity: It says that the shear stress is proportional to the velocity gradient or shear strain rate.Dynamic viscosity: Units 1 Poise =0.1 Pa-secμ = F h/VA = 𝑁 × 𝑚/𝑚/𝑠𝑒𝑐 × 𝑚2 = 𝑁𝑠𝑒𝑐/ 𝑚2 = Pa-sec F = μAV/ h or Units of dynamic viscosity are Poise.Kinematic viscosity (𝝂) : It is defined as the ratio between the dynamic viscosity and density of the fluid.ν = μ / ρ = 𝑁.𝑠𝑒𝑐/ 𝑚2 / 𝑘𝑔 / 𝑚3 = 𝑚2/ 𝑠𝑒𝑐 Tags: Fluid Mechanics Facebook Twitter
