Viscosity API
Fluid-viscosity physics as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The sutherland endpoint gives the dynamic viscosity of a gas at any temperature from Sutherland’s law, μ(T) = μ_ref·(T/T_ref)^1.5·(T_ref+S)/(T+S), with built-in constants for air, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, helium and argon (or your own μ_ref, T_ref and S) — air comes out at about 1.72×10⁻⁵ Pa·s at 0 °C, 1.84×10⁻⁵ at 25 °C and 2.17×10⁻⁵ at 100 °C, returned in Pa·s, micro-Pa·s and centipoise. The kinematic endpoint converts between dynamic viscosity μ and kinematic viscosity ν through the density, ν = μ/ρ and μ = ν·ρ, so water at 1.002 cP and 998 kg/m³ becomes about 1.004 cSt. The convert endpoint handles viscosity units both ways — dynamic between Pa·s, centipoise and poise (1 Pa·s = 1000 cP = 10 P) and kinematic between m²/s, centistokes and stokes (1 m²/s = 10⁶ cSt = 10⁴ St). Temperatures are in °C or kelvin. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for fluid-mechanics, CFD, process-engineering, lubrication, HVAC and chemical-engineering app developers, viscosity-correlation and unit-conversion tools, and simulation software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This computes viscosity; for the Reynolds number that uses it use a Reynolds API.
