Description

The Poise (P): A CGS Unit of Dynamic Viscosity

The Poise (P) is a unit of dynamic viscosity in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, named after French physician Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille. It measures the resistance of a fluid to flow, defined as one dyne-second per square centimeter.

In SI units, 1 Poise equals 0.1 Pascal seconds (Pa·s). While the Poise is less commonly used today, it remains relevant in specific scientific contexts, particularly in rheology and fluid mechanics studies.

Understanding the Poise is essential for professionals dealing with legacy data or working in fields where CGS units are still prevalent, ensuring accurate interpretation and application of viscosity measurements.

Kilogram per Meter Second (kg/(m·s)): A Fundamental SI Unit of Viscosity

The Kilogram per meter second (kg/(m·s)) is a fundamental SI unit of dynamic viscosity, representing the force in kilograms required to move a fluid layer over another with a velocity gradient of one meter per second across a one-meter gap.

This unit is integral in scientific and engineering calculations involving fluid flow, heat transfer, and material processing. It provides a direct measure of a fluid's resistance to deformation, crucial for designing systems where fluid behavior impacts performance.

Employing kg/(m·s) in calculations ensures consistency and accuracy in modeling and analyzing fluid dynamics across various applications.
