Perry's Handbook Viscosity Apr 2026

Liquid viscosity drops sharply as temperature rises. Perry’s often utilizes a variation of the :

lnμ=A+BT+ClnT+DTEl n mu equals cap A plus the fraction with numerator cap B and denominator cap T end-fraction plus cap C l n cap T plus cap D cap T to the cap E-th power Perry's Handbook Viscosity

While simple fluids use standard definitions , Perry’s relies on specific models for temperature dependence: For Liquids Liquid viscosity drops sharply as temperature rises
