Unit EP
Name exapoise
Category Dynamic Viscosity
Details Exapoise (EP) is a unit of dynamic viscosity used to express the resistance of a fluid to deformation by shear stress or tensile stress. Dynamic viscosity is an important property of fluids and plays a crucial role in fluid mechanics, engineering, and various industrial processes.

Exapoise (EP) is derived from the unit Poise (P) in the International System of Units (SI). 1 Exapoise (EP) is equal to 10^18 Poise (10^18 P). The Poise (P) is named after the French scientist Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille, who studied fluid dynamics and the science of fluid flow.

For context, the SI unit for dynamic viscosity is Pascal-second (Pa-s), and the conversion factor is 1 Pa-s = 10 Poise. So, 1 Exapoise is equal to 10^18 P, or 10^17 Pascal-seconds (Pa-s).

In summary, the Exapoise is a very large unit of dynamic viscosity, and it is used to express the resistance of a fluid to deformation under shear or tensile stress. It is used mostly in scientific calculations and large-scale fluid dynamic processes.
