Water, properties kinematic viscosity

The property of the fluid which appears in the Reynolds number is the kinematic viscosity pfp. The kinematic viscosity of water at 294 K and atmospheric pressure is 10 6 m2/s compared with 15.5 x 10 6 nr/s for air. Thus, gases typically have higher kinematic viscosities than liquids at atmospheric pressure. 

Various correlations for mean droplet size generated by plain-jet, prefilming, and miscellaneous air-blast atomizers using air as atomization gas are listed in Tables 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, and 4.10, respectively. In these correlations, ALR is the mass flow rate ratio of air to liquid, ALR = mAlmL, Dp is the prefilmer diameter, Dh is the hydraulic mean diameter of air exit duct, vr is the kinematic viscosity ratio relative to water, a is the radial distance from cup lip, DL is the diameter of cup at lip, Up is the cup peripheral velocity, Ur is the air to liquid velocity ratio defined as U=UAIUp, Lw is the diameter of wetted periphery between air and liquid streams, Aa is the flow area of atomizing air stream, m is a power index, PA is the pressure of air, and B is a composite numerical factor. The important parameters influencing the mean droplet size include relative velocity between atomization air/gas and liquid, mass flow rate ratio of air to liquid, physical properties of liquid (viscosity, density, surface tension) and air (density), and atomizer geometry as described by nozzle diameter, prefilmer diameter, etc. 

The physico-chemical properties of the oil samples were measured according to ASTM methods density D 369 kinematic viscosity- modified D 445-88 [9], flash point D-93 gross calorific value D4809 water content D-1744 and ash content D 482. The apparent viscosity was measured using a Brookfield viscometer, LVDV III+. The content of the methanol insoluble materials (MIM) was determined according to the method described by Oasmaa et al. [13],... 

Temperature obviously affects the physical properties of the fluids, thus indirectly affecting the transfer coefficients. As in the case of heat transfer in pipes, equations involving viscosity corrections for temperature differences between bulk and interface have been suggested (Eq. 11-14, Table II) and are especially applicable for viscous continuous phases. No correction is needed for water, for instance, especially at > 50. At lower (A Re)c. natural convection is pronounced, especially in liquid systems with low kinematic viscosity. Since the transfer coefficient for natural convection is a function of the Grashof number, one may expect some effects of the temperature gradient. Steinberger and Treybal s equation (Eq. 6) allows for these effects. 

Their migration capability depends on properties of the organic matter, first of all its density and viscosity. As noted earlier, with the density higher than water, the organic matter sinks, with the density lower than water it floats up. At the same values of permeability and hydraulic gradient the rate of their flow/filtration is inversely proportionate to kinematic viscosity, i.e., ratio of dynamic viscosity liquids density. The value of this viscosity for reservoir-conditions oil may be associated with their density by empiric equation ... 

Numbers are a fundamental component of measurements and of the physical properties of materials. However, numbers without units are meaningless. Few quantities do not have units, e.g., specific gravity of a substance is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of an equal volume of water at 4°C. Another unitless quantity is the Reynolds Number, Re = pvllr where p is the density v is the velocity rj is the viscosity of the fluid, and / is the length or diameter of a body or internal breadth of a pipe. The ratio r]lp = /i the kinematic viscosity with units of fit. R = vHp and has no units if the units of v, I, and p are consistent. 

Also, it can be seen that properties such as density and dynamic viscosity undergo a significant drop (near the critical point this drop is almost vertical) within a very narrow temperature range (see Figs. A3.5(b) and A3.7(b), respectively, for water, and Figs. A3.14 and A3.16 for carbon dioxide), while the kinematic viscosity and specific...
