Where, ν= Kinematic viscosity

c= Viscometer constant

               t= time of flow in seconds (Redwood second)

ν= η/ρ------------------------------ (ii)

 

Where, ν= Kinematic viscosity

              η= Dynamic viscosity

               ρ= Density of fluid

 

 

1.      Calculation of Kinematic Viscosities:

 

For Test Temperature at 200C

               ν=ct

               = 0.247×166.6 sec

                =  41.150 mm2/sec

 

For Test Temperature at 400C

ν=ct

               = 0.247×115 sec

               = 28.405 mm2/s

 

2.      Calculation of Dynamic Viscosities:

 

For Test Temperature at 200C

               ν= η/ρ

               41.150  =η/0.8859

               η = 41.150×0.8859

                 =36.45mPa.S

 

For Test Temperature at 400C

               ν= η/ρ

               28.405 =η/0.8859

               η = 28.405×0.8859

                 = 25.16mPa.S

Conclusions:
Kinematic viscosity (experimental) of test material at 20 Deg C and 40 Deg C is 41.15 mm2/sec and 28.40mm2/s ,respectively.
Dynamic viscosity (calculated) of test material at 20 Deg C and 40 Deg C is 36.45 mPa.S and 25.16 mPa.S, respectively.

Executive summary:

Kinematic viscosity (experimental) for test material at 200C and 400C is 41.15 mm2/sec and 28.40 mm2/s ,respectively. Dynamic viscosity (calculated) for test material at 200C and 400C is 36.45 mPa.S and 25.16 mPa.S, respectively.
