Calculation of Kinematic Viscosities:

For Test Temperature at 20 °C

ν=ct

= 172 × 0.247sec

= 42.4840mm²/sec

For Test Temperature at 40°C

ν=ct

= 120 × 0.247sec

 

= 29.6400 mm²/sec

 

 

Calculation of Dynamic Viscosities:

For Test Temperature at 20°C

ν= η/ρ

42.4840 =η 1.1309

η = 42.4840 x 1.1309

= 48.0451 mPa.S

 

For Test Temperature at 40°C

ν= η/ρ

29.6400 =η/ 1.1309

η = 29.6400 x 1.1309

= 33.5198 mPa.S

Conclusions:
Dynamic viscosity of test chemical was calaculated to be 48.0451 mPa.S at 20°C and 33.5198 mPa.S at 40 °C and kinematic viscosity (experimental) was determined to be 42.4840 mm²/sec at 20°C and 29.6400 mm²/sec at 40°C.
