What are Gram/centimeter/second and Pound-force Second/sq. Foot

Definition of Gram/centimeter/second

The gram/centimeter/second (g/cm·s) is a unit of dynamic viscosity in the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system of units. It measures a fluid's internal resistance to flow and is commonly referred to as poise, named after Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille. One poise equals one dyne-second per square centimeter. This unit is significant in fluid dynamics, especially in scenarios where precise viscosity measurements are crucial, such as in lubrication, polymer science, and various industrial applications. Its simplicity and ease of use make it an essential unit in scientific research and engineering projects.

Definition of Pound-force Second/sq. Foot

The pound-force second per square foot (lbf·s/ft²) is a unit of dynamic viscosity in the Imperial system, measuring the fluid's resistance to shear or flow under a force. This unit is particularly prevalent in engineering and fluid dynamics in the United States, where Imperial units are often used. It signifies how much force is needed to move a layer of fluid in relation to another. This is critical in applications like designing hydraulic systems, automotive oils, and other scenarios where fluid behavior under force is analyzed. Understanding this unit helps in ensuring efficient system designs and operations.
