Rheological Characteristics of Corn oil used in Biodegradable Lubricant
Ioana Stanciu
Abstract
The rheological behavior of corn oil can be studied with four rheological models found in the specialized literature. The rheological behavior of corn oil can be analyzed if it is subjected to an increasing shear rate. The behavior of this fluid can be appreciated based on the experimental data, graphically representing the variation the shearing stress with the shear velocity. This curve represents the mathematical model of the rheological behavior of the product. The rheological behavior of the corn oil was analyzed with the mixing rheometer type Viscotester VT 550 (Haake).
