Air Viscosity is resistance to shear or flow in a fluid - and a measure of the adhesive/cohesive or frictional property.
HVAC Systems Viscosity arising due to internal molecular friction produces the frictional drag effect.
Hydraulics and
Pneumatics There are two related measures of fluid viscosities - known as dynamic (or absolute) and kinematic viscosity.
