CALCULATIONS:

                    ν=ct-----------------------------------------(i)

Where, ν= Kinematic viscosity

c= Viscometer constant

               t= time of flow in seconds (Redwood second)

 

For Redwood Viscometer- I, the values for the constants are as below:

 

Time of flow,t

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

 = 0.247x123

 = 30.381mm2/s

 

For Test Temperature at 400C

ν=ct

 = 0.264x72.5

 = 19.14mm2/s

 

2.      Calculation of Dynamic Viscosities:

 

For Test Temperature at 200C

               ν= η/ρ

               30.381= η/1.05

               η = 30.381x1.05

                 = 31.90mPa.S

 

For Test Temperature at 400C

               ν= η/ρ

               19.14= η/1.05

               η = 19.14x1.05

                 = 20.097mPa.S

 

Result:
