Dynamic viscosity
From Plastics Wiki, free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Absolute (Dynamic) Viscosity)
Dynamic Viscosity An index of molecular friction within a fluid that is proportional to the rate of deformation and the viscosity coefficient of a fluid (absolute viscosity).
Absolute Viscosity The tangential force on unit area of either of two parallel planes at unit distance apart when the space between the planes is filled with the fluid in question and one of the planes moves with unit differential velocity in its own plane.
The C.G.S. unit for absolute (or dynamic) viscosity is poise (dyne-sec./sq. cm.). Centipoise (0.01) is often used
