Viscosity correlations for jojoba oil blends with biodiesel and petroleum diesel

摘要

In this study, the effect of temperature and mixture composition on viscosity of Jojoba oil-Biodiesel (JO-BD) and Jojoba oil-Diesel (JO-PD) blends are investigated. Moreover, the relationship between the viscosity and the specific gravity of the blends is studied. Experimental viscosity data for the temperature range between 20 degrees C and 80 degrees C are used. The results show that the viscosity-temperature dependency can be well correlated by Vogel model for the viscosity-temperature relation. Also, a method that could estimate the blends viscosity from the specific gravity data is established.
