An effective correlation in predicting the viscosity of biodiesel
mixture over wide temperature and volume fraction ranges
Abstract
Biodiesel viscosity is one of the most important parameters in terms of
impact on motor performance. In this study, an effective equation
introduces for the kinematic viscosity of the biodiesel mixture which
can be used for a wide range of temperatures and for different volume
fraction systems for biodiesel mixtures. This equation is based on 1215
data from the literature. And the ability of this equation was compared
with the other equations such as Arrhenius, Kendall & Monroe and
Bingham. The results show that the new equation has better performance
(lower AARE%)than the mentioned equations, and the mean error of this
equation is 3.309%.
