Comparative study of the kinematic viscosity versus temperature for vegetable oils : Argan, Avocado, Olive , Rapeseed, Sunflower, Linseed, Almond and Diesel fuel

摘要

In this study we compare the viscosity of different vegetable oils studied. The temperature dependence of Kinematic viscosity of vegetable oils: argan oil, avocado oil, olive oil , Rapeseed oil, Sunflower oil, Linseed oil, Almond oil and Diesel fuel is described using an Arrhenius-type equation. We plotted the curves of Logarithm of viscosity versus 1/T for each sample. The activation energy Ea and the infinite-temperature viscosity (η¥) were determined from these plots for each oil, the correlation coefficients varied between 0.942 and 0.998.
