Abstract:The viscosity index is a fundamental property of lubricating oils and greases that significantly affects their lubrication performance under diverse temperature conditions. This study aims to investigate the influence of chain length and branch content on the viscosity of polyisobutylene (PIB)-blend mineral oil. To achieve this objective, mathematical models are employed to predict the specific volume, Vander Waals volume, structural factor, friction factor, molecular weight, and specific viscosity of lubrican… Show more
