Absolute Viscosity of Fluid by Ergun Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Absolute Viscosity = (Diameter of Object*Superficial Velocity*Density)/(Reynolds Number(pb)*(1-Void Fraction))
μ = (D_o*U_b*ρ)/(Re_pb*(1-∈))
This formula uses 6 Variables

Variables Used

Absolute Viscosity - (Measured in Pascal Second) - Absolute Viscosity is the measurement of the fluid's internal resistance to flow.
Diameter of Object - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Object is a straight line passing from side to side through the center of a body or figure, especially a circle or sphere.
Superficial Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Superficial Velocity is the volumetric flow rate divided by a cross sectional area.
Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - The Density of a material shows the denseness of that material in a specific given area. This is taken as mass per unit volume of a given object.
Reynolds Number(pb) - Reynolds number(pb) is the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces within a fluid which is subjected to relative internal movement due to different fluid velocities.
Void Fraction - Void Fraction is the fraction of the channel volume that is occupied by the gas phase.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Diameter of Object: 25 Meter --> 25 Meter No Conversion Required
Superficial Velocity: 0.05 Meter per Second --> 0.05 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Density: 997 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 997 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

What is internal flow?

Internal flow is a flow for which the fluid is confined by a surface. Hence the boundary layer is unable to develop without eventually being constrained. The internal flow configuration represents a convenient geometry for heating and cooling fluids used in chemical processing, environmental control, and energy conversion technologies. An example includes flow in a pipe.
