Material Properties

1. How do I know which expression Comsol is using for a particular properties? For dynamic viscosity it shows eta(T[1/K])[Pa*s]. But I want to know the expression.
2. For moisture air, does comsol take care of water content in the air to calculate the viscosity?

Look insides the material properties basic nodes, material properties functions. For example for viscosity of water eta is defined as function of temperature .3799566804-0.021224019151*T^1+1.3604562827E-4*T^2-4.6454090319E-7*T^3+8.9042735735E-10*T^4-9.0790692686E-13*T^5+3.8457331488E-16*T^6
