What is poise?

Featured Replies

A poise is a unit of viscosity (internal friction in a fluid),

 

1 poise = 1 dyn*s/cm2 = .1N * s/m2

:confused:

What does that "N" stand for??

I have no idea what you just wrote (mainly 'cause I don't know the symbols, except the dyne)

BTW, do you know of this equation:

[psi]=p1/2 Re [ba]/2

 

Its supposed to be a quantum foam equation.

 

What is a dyne?

A dyne/N (Newton) is a unit of force. s is obviously second, cm/m is meter/centimeter

okay, my html abilities aren't the greatest (in reference to the above equation i posted) but the "ba" is supposed to be beta.
