Viscosity of water at atmospheric pressure - McCain correlation
Input(s)
S: Salinity (% weight by solids)
\(\mathrm{T}\): Temperature \((\mathrm{F})\)
Output(s)
\(\mu_{\mathrm{w} 1}\): Viscosity of water \((\mathrm{cP})\)
Formula(s)
\[
\begin{aligned}
\mu w 1= & \left(109.574-8.40564 * S+0.313314 * S^{\wedge} 2+8.72213 * 10^{\wedge}-3 * S^{\wedge} 3\right) \\
& * T^{\wedge}\left(-1.12166+2.63951 * 10^{-2} * S-6.79461 * 10^{-4} * S^{2}-5.47119\right. \\
& * 10^{-5} * S^{3}+1.55586 * 10^{-6} * S^{4}
\end{aligned}
