1. Calculation of Kinematic Viscosities:

For Test Temperature at 40°C

ν=ct

= 1020.6 × 0.247sec

= 252.0882mm²/sec

For Test Temperature at 60°C

ν=ct

= 985.3 × 0.247sec

= 243.3691 mm²/sec

2. Calculation of Dynamic Viscosities:

For Test Temperature at 40°C

ν= η/ρ

252.0882 =η 0.9787

η = 252.0882 x 0.9787

= 246.7187 mPa.S

For Test Temperature at 60°C

ν= η/ρ

243.3691 =η/ 0.9787

η = 243.3691 x 0.9787

= 238.1853 mPa.S

Conclusions:
Kinematic viscosity (experimental) of Castor oil, ethoxylated( CAS No. 61791-12-6) at 40°C and 60°C was 252.0882 mm²/sec and 243.3691 mm²/s,respectively.
