Square Centimeter per Second

cm²/s

Definition

The square centimeter per second is a CGS unit of kinematic viscosity, representing the ratio of dynamic viscosity to density in the centimeter-gram-second system. It is commonly used in scientific literature and provides a practical scale for many measurements.

History/Origin

This unit is part of the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units, which was widely used in physics and chemistry before the adoption of the SI system. It provides a smaller base unit for kinematic viscosity measurements.

Current Use

Still used in many scientific contexts, particularly in older literature and certain specialized fields. It is particularly useful for measuring the kinematic viscosity of liquids and gases in laboratory settings.

Square Meter per Second

m²/s

Definition

The square meter per second is the SI unit of kinematic viscosity, representing the ratio of dynamic viscosity to density. It measures the rate at which momentum is transferred through a fluid due to molecular motion and is fundamental in fluid mechanics and heat transfer calculations.

History/Origin

This unit was established as part of the International System of Units (SI) to provide a standardized measure of kinematic viscosity. It replaced the older CGS unit of stokes in scientific and engineering applications, offering a more practical scale for most measurements.

Current Use

Widely used in fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and chemical engineering for characterizing fluid flow behavior. It is essential for calculating Reynolds numbers, Prandtl numbers, and other dimensionless parameters in engineering analysis.
