1. Calculation of Kinematic Viscosities:

For Test Temperature at 20°C

ν=ct

= 1051.6 × 0.247sec

= 259.7452mm²/sec

For Test Temperature at 40°C

ν=ct

= 776 × 0.247sec

= 191.6720 mm²/sec

2. Calculation of Dynamic Viscosities:

For Test Temperature at 20°C

ν= η/ρ

259.7452 =η 1.1160

η = 259.7452 x 1.1160

= 289.8756 mPa.S

For Test Temperature at 40°C

ν= η/ρ

191.6720 =η/ 1.1160

η = 191.6720 x 1.1160

= 213.9059 mPa.S

Conclusions:
Kinematic viscosity (experimental) of test chemical at 20°C and 40°C was 259.7452 mm²/sec and 191.6720 mm²/s,respectively.
Dynamic viscosity (calculated) of test chemical at 20°C and 40°C was 289.8756 mPa.S and 213.9059 mPa.S, respectively.
Executive summary:
