Estimation of the viscosity of a pure liquid
Input(s)
\(\mathrm{N}\): Avogadro Number \((\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{mol})\)
\(\mathrm{h}\): Planck Constant \(\left(\mathrm{g} \mathrm{cm}^{2} / \mathrm{s}\right)\)
\(\mathrm{V}\): Volume of a Mole of Liquid \(\left(\mathrm{cm}^{3} / \mathrm{g} \mathrm{mol}\right)\)
\(\boldsymbol{T}_{\boldsymbol{b}}\): Boiling Point (Centigrade)
\(\mathrm{T}\): Ambient Temperature (Celsius)
Output(s)
\(\mu\): Viscosity of a Pure Liquid \((\mathrm{g} /(\mathrm{cm} \mathrm{s}))\)
Formula(s)
\[
\mu=\frac{\mathrm{N} * \mathrm{~h}}{\mathrm{~V}} * \exp \left(3.8 * \frac{\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{b}}}{\mathrm{T}}\right)
\]
