Abstract

 

This study proposes four relationships of dynamic viscosity temperature dependence forvegetable oils. The purpose of this study was to find a polynomial or exponentialdependence between temperature and dynamic viscosity of vegetable oil, using theAndrade equation changes. Equation constants A, B, C and D were determined by fittingpolynomial or exponential.

 

Key words: Viscosity-temperature, vegetable oil, relationship.
