Background for Sutherland Formula Viscosity Calculator Excel Spreadsheet
Sutherland’s formula for calculating the viscosity of a gas at a specified gas temperature is shown below along with an explanation of the parameters in the equation.
The parameters in Sutherland’s formula are as follows:
To = reference temperature, K
μo = viscosity of the gas at temperature, To
C = Sutherland’s constant for the gas, K
T = the temperature of the gas, K
μ = the viscosity of the gas at temperature, T, in the same units as μo.
