Abstract
This article presents the rheological behavior of refined rapeseed oil and hydraulic oil. Apparent viscosity of both oils was determined at temperatures between 40 and 90°C and shear rates ranging from 3.3 to 120 s-1. The aim of the study was to find a polynomial dependence of oil viscosity on temperature and shear rate. The modified Andrade equation was used. Constants A, B, C and correlation coefficient were determined by correlating a characteristic polynomial equation of each curve.
