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.

Newton Second per Square Meter (N·s/m²): SI Unit of Dynamic Viscosity

The Newton second per square meter (N·s/m²) is an SI unit of dynamic viscosity, directly equivalent to the Pascal second (Pa·s). It quantifies the internal resistance of a fluid to flow, essential in analyzing and designing systems involving fluid movement.

This unit is widely used in engineering disciplines, including mechanical, chemical, and civil engineering, to assess and predict fluid behavior under various conditions. Accurate viscosity measurements in N·s/m² enable engineers to design efficient systems for fluid transport, lubrication, and processing.

Understanding and applying this unit ensures precise control over processes involving fluid dynamics, contributing to system reliability and performance.
