Fluid Viscosity at Wall Temperature in Heat Exchangers Formulas

Fluid Viscosity at Wall Temperature is defined at the temperature of the wall of pipe or surface at which the fluid is in contact with it. And is denoted by μ_Wall. Fluid Viscosity at Wall Temperature is usually measured using the Pascal Second for Dynamic Viscosity. Note that the value of Fluid Viscosity at Wall Temperature is always positive.
