Viscosity—the measure of a fluid's resistance to flow—is critical for sizing pumps, pipes, and heat exchangers. Perry's provides three main ways to find this data:
lnμ=A+BT+ClnT+DTEl n mu equals cap A plus the fraction with numerator cap B and denominator cap T end-fraction plus cap C l n cap T plus cap D cap T to the cap E-th power Perry's Handbook Viscosity
Thousands of organic and inorganic compounds are listed with experimental viscosity values at specific temperatures. Viscosity—the measure of a fluid's resistance to flow—is
