As we explained in Chapter 10, viscosity is a measure of how easily a fluid flows. For example, honey has a higher value of viscosity than does water because if you were to pour water and honey side by side on an inclined surface, the water will flow faster. The viscosity of a fluid plays a significant role in the analysis of many fluid dynamics problems. The viscosity ofwater can be determined from the following correlation:μ = c1 10c2 1(T−c3 )whereμ = viscosity (N/s.m2 )T = temperature (K)c1=2.414×10-5 (N/s.m2 ) c2= 247.8 K c3= 140 KUsing Excel, create a table that shows the viscosity of water as a function oftemperature in the range of 0° C (273 15 ) to 100° C (373 15 ) in increments of 5° C. Also create a graph showing the value of viscosity as a function of temperature.

water can be determined from the following correlation:
μ = c1 10c2 1(T−c3 )
where
μ = viscosity (N/s.m2 )
T = temperature (K)
c1=2.414×10-5 (N/s.m2 )
c2= 247.8 K
c3= 140 K
Using Excel, create a table that shows the viscosity of water as a function of
temperature in the range of 0° C (273 15 ) to 100° C (373 15 ) in increments of 5° C. Also create a graph showing the value of viscosity as a function of temperature.
