Abstract

In fluid dynamics and related fields, accurately measuring liquid viscosity is vital. The traditional falling ball method, common in education and research, faces challenges in ensuring uniform fall and correcting for phenomena like eddy currents. This thesis introduces a new device based on the Poiseuille method, measuring viscosity through pressure difference and adjustable flow rates. Comparing it with the falling ball method, we found the latter has an average error of 5.21%, while the Poiseuille method has only 1.23%. The Poiseuille method avoids issues like Reynolds coefficient correction and inaccuracies from high ball speeds, offering stability and practical value.
