Abstract:A viscometer is a tool used to determine the strength of a fluid to shear or tensile stress. Meanwhile, engine oils are used to reduce friction and wear during operation and often deteriorate by the dynamic process with the combined effects of working conditions, contaminations and wear conditions. Therefore, the precise characterization of viscosity is important in the analysis of numerous engineering situations that consume engine oils that associate the functionality or performance of vehicles and machinery… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
