Viscosity of Air Formula
The following formula can be used to calculate the viscosity of air.
u = ( b * T^(3/2)) / (T+S)
- Where u is the viscosity
- b is a constant (1.458 x 10^-6)
- T is the temperature (Kelvin)
- S is another constant (110.4)
Viscosity of Air Definition
The viscosity of air is defined as the air gasses’ resistance to flow and is dependent solely on the temperature.
