What is Dynamic Viscosity?
Dynamic viscosity, often simply referred to as viscosity, is a fundamental property of fluids that describes their resistance to flow when subjected to an applied force or shear stress. It is a measure of the internal friction within a fluid as it moves, and it quantifies how easily the fluid can be deformed or sheared.
Materials with high dynamic viscosity flow sluggishly, while those with low dynamic viscosity flow more readily. For example, honey has a higher dynamic viscosity compared to water, which is why honey flows more slowly than water.
How to Calculate Torque given Thickness of Oil?
Torque given Thickness of Oil calculator uses Torque Exerted on Disc = (pi*Dynamic Viscosity of Fluid*Angular Velocity*(Outer Radius of Disc^4-Inner Radius of disc^4))/(2*Thickness of Oil*sin(Tilt Angle)) to calculate the Torque Exerted on Disc, Torque given Thickness of Oil calculates the amount of Torque required to rotate a hollow disc with a tilt angle θ with respect to horizontal axis, immersed in fluid. When dynamic viscosity increases the amount of torque required to rotate the disc also increases. Torque Exerted on Disc is denoted by Td symbol.
How to calculate Torque given Thickness of Oil using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Torque given Thickness of Oil, enter Dynamic Viscosity of Fluid (μ), Angular Velocity (ω), Outer Radius of Disc (ro), Inner Radius of disc (ri), Thickness of Oil (h) & Tilt Angle (θ) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Torque given Thickness of Oil calculation can be explained with given input values -> 19.50552 = (pi*0.0796*2*(7^4-4^4))/(2*55*sin(0.5235987755982)).
