CALCULATIONS:

ν=ct-----------------------------------------(i)

Where, ν= Kinematic viscosity

c= Viscometer constant

              t= time of flow in seconds (Redwood second)

 

For Redwood Viscometer- I, the values for the constants are as below:

 

Time of flow,t

ν= η/ρ------------------------------ (ii)

Where, ν= Kinematic viscosity

              η= Dynamic viscosity

               ρ= Density of fluid

 

 

1.      Calculation of Kinematic Viscosities:

 

For Test Temperature at 200C

ν=ct

 = 0.247x86

 = 21.242mm2/s

For Test Temperature at 400C

ν=ct

                = 0.264x60

                = 15.84mm2/s

 

2.      Calculation of Dynamic Viscosities:

 

For Test Temperature at 200C

               ν= η/ρ

               21.242= η/0.955

               η = 21.242x0.955

                 = 20.287mPa.S

 

For Test Temperature at 400C

               ν= η/ρ

               ν= η/ρ

               15.84= η/0.955

               η = 15.84x0.955

                 = 15.127mPa.S
