viscosity_of_water(temperature)

Computes the viscosity of water in [Pa*s] at a particular temperature.

These equations come from section 3.7 from 1.

Parameters

temperature (array_like) – Temperature [Celsius]. Should be between -20°C and 110°C

Returns

Viscosity of water [Pa*s]

Return type

array_like

Raises

ValueError – If the requested temperature is outside the valid range of -20°C <= T < 110°C.
