How to Calculate and Solve for Kinematic Viscosity | Transport Phenomena

The image above represents kinematic viscosity. To calculate kinematic viscosity, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Viscosity (η) and Density (ρ).

The formula for calculating kinematic viscosity:

V = η / ρ

Where:

V = Kinematic Viscosity
η = Viscosity
ρ = Density

Let’s solve an example;
Find the kinematic viscosity when the viscosity is 44 and the density is 11.

This implies that;

η = Viscosity = 44
ρ = Density = 11

V = η / ρ
So, V = 44 / 11
V = 4

Therefore, the kinematic viscosity is 4 m²/s.

Calculating the Viscosity when the Kinematic Viscosity and the Density are Given

η = V x ρ

Where:

η = Viscosity
V = Kinematic Viscosity
ρ = Density

Let’s solve an example;
Find the viscosity when the kinematic viscosity is 10 and the density is 5.

This implies that;

V = Kinematic Viscosity = 10
ρ = Density = 5

η = V x ρ
So, η = 10 x 5
η = 50

Therefore, the viscosity is 50.

Calculating the Density when the Kinematic Viscosity and the Viscosity are Given

ρ = η / V

Where:

ρ = Density
V = Kinematic Viscosity
η = Viscosity

Let’s solve an example;
Given that the kinematic viscosity is 20 and the viscosity is 40. Find the Density?

This implies that;

V = Kinematic Viscosity = 20
η = Viscosity = 40

ρ = η / V
That is, ρ = 40 / 20
ρ = 20

Therefore, the density is 20.
