1. Calculation of Kinematic Viscosities:

For Test Temperature at 20 °C

ν=ct

= 175 × 0.247sec

= 43.2250mm²/sec

For Test Temperature at 40°C

ν=ct

= 128.6 × 0.247sec

= 31.7642 mm²/sec

2. Calculation of Dynamic Viscosities:

For Test Temperature at 20°C

ν= η/ρ

43.2250 =η 1.0848

η = 43.2250 x 1.0848

= 46.8904 mPa.S

For Test Temperature at 40°C

ν= η/ρ

31.7642 =η/ 1.0848

η = 31.7642 x 1.0848

= 34.4578 mPa.S

Conclusions:
Under the test system, the kinematic viscosity (experimental) at 20°C and 40°C was determined to be 43.2250 mm²/sec and 31.7642 mm²/s, respectively. The dynamic viscosity (calculated) at 20°C and 40°C was determined to be 46.8904 mPa.S and 34.4578 mPa.S, respectively.
