Question

Which is identified as the coefficient of momentum transport?

A.

Density

B.

Kinematic viscosity 

C.

Dynamic viscosity 

D.

Reynolds number 

Correct option is B

The coefficient of momentum transport describes the rate at which momentum diffuses through a fluid due to viscous effects. This property is specifically known as kinematic viscosity.

It is mathematically defined as:ν=μρWhere:μ=Dynamic viscosity (Pas or Ns/m2)ρ=Density (kg/m3)ν=Kinematic viscosity (m2/s)It has the same dimensional form as a diffusion coefficient,and thus is referred to as the momentum diffusivity,or coefficient of momentum transport.\begin{aligned}&\text{It is mathematically defined as:} \\&\nu = \frac{\mu}{\rho} \\[1em]&\text{Where:} \\&\mu = \text{Dynamic viscosity (Pa} \cdot \text{s or N} \cdot \text{s/m}^2\text{)} \\&\rho = \text{Density (kg/m}^3\text{)} \\&\nu = \text{Kinematic viscosity (m}^2/\text{s)} \\[1em]&\text{It has the \textbf{same dimensional form} as a diffusion coefficient,} \\&\text{and thus is referred to as the \textbf{momentum diffusivity},} \\&\text{or \textbf{coefficient of momentum transport}.}\end{aligned}
