kinematicviscosity¶

pychemengg.physicalproperties.airproperties.kinematicviscosity(T=None)[source]¶

Provides kinematicviscosity of air at a temperature T

Parameters

Tint or float: Temperature in ‘Celsius’ at which kinematic viscosity is required.

Returns

Kinematicviscosity: int or float: Kinematic viscosity (m2/s) at temperature T.

Notes

Look up table adapted from ref [1].

Linear interpolation is performed when the temperature lies between tabulated entries.
