Viscosity : It is the property of the fluid which opposes the relative motion between the two surfaces of the fluid in a fluid that are moving a different velocity.
Viscosity can be two types:
1: Dynamic Viscosity Or Absolute Viscosity Or Coefficient of Viscosity or Viscosity
2: Kinematic Viscosity ( This is imaginary not really present in real life)
The main difference between Dynamic viscosity and Kinematic Viscosity is:
Dynamic Viscosity: One way is to measure a fluid's resistance to flow when an external force is applied , This is Dynamic viscosity , always it is used for practical purpose.
Units: SI : N.S/ m2
C.G.S Unit: Dyne-Sec/ Cm2 ( It is also called Poise)
M.K.S. Unit: Kgf-Sec/ m2
Kinematic Viscosity: The other way is to measure the resistive flow of a fluid under the weight of gravity , the result is kinematic vicosity . Do not use it by your own, until there is no mention of particulate word (Kinematic Viscosity) in numerical .
Units: SI : m2/s
CGS unit: cm2/sec ( It is called stoke )
M.K.S =m2/Sec
IMP Point:-
Two fluid that have the same Dynamic viscosity can have different kinematic viscosity This is due to kinematic viscosity dependent on the density of the fluid , density is not a factor with Dynamic viscosity .
Some Other Key Points regarding Viscosity:
1: The dynamic viscosity of pure water at 20 degree Celsius is 0.01 poise or 1 centi poise
2: The viscosity of fluid decreases with increasing the temperature ( Because fluid has a tendency to flow in stream line in most of the cases , when velocity of flow is low)
3: The viscosity of gases increases with increasing the temperature ( REASON: when we heat the gases then gas molecules travel in zig zag motion, so the momentum of gases particles increases and they generate high shear stress due to high momentum)
4: Water has higher viscosity than Mercury.
