At What temperature will air get a larger kinematic viscosity than crude oil?
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
At What temperature will air get a larger kinematic viscosity than crude oil? Please explain step by step. I believe we have compare the viscosity of air and the oil using the formula: kinematic viscosity = dynamic viscosity / density 2. Relevant equations inematic viscosity = dynamic viscosity / density density = pressure / RT 3. The attempt at a solution so what I did so far was make the kine viscosity (of air) = kine viscosity (of oil) dynamic viscosity / (pressure / RT) = dynamic viscosity / (pressure / RT) NOW I AM STUCK!!! I do not know what values to use for dyn viscosity, pressure, R. I know I have to solve for T to get the answer. (the answer is greater than 7 but no clue how to reach there w/o those values) |
