Another common unit for viscosity is the centipoise, which is 10-2 poise (just like a centimeter is 10-2 meters). (1 centipoise = 0.001 N⋅s/m2) The unit poise is named after Jean Leonard Marie Poiseuille. The conversion between the centipoise and the Pa⋅s is 1 centipoise = 1 mPa. s. What is the viscosity of water at room temperature?

Answer and Explanation

Picking room temperature to be 20°C, the viscosity of water (μ) obtained from literature is:

1 centipoise = 0.01 poise = 0.001 Pa.s = 0.001 N.s/m² (This viscosity is the dynamic viscosity of water at 20°C)

Kinematic viscosity of water, η = μ/ρ

At 20°C, μ = 0.001 Pa.s, ρ = 998.23 kg/m³

η = 0.001/998.23 = 1.0 × 10⁻⁶ m²/s

Picking the room temperature to be 25°C, the viscosityof water (μ) is

0.89 centipoise = 0.0089 poise = 0.00089 Pa.s = 8.9 × 10⁻⁴ N.s/m²

Kinematic viscosity of water, η = μ/ρ

At 25°C, μ = 0.00089 Pa.s, ρ = 997 kg/m³

η = 0.00089/997 = 8.9 × 10⁻⁷ m²/s
