This study experimentally determined the dynamic viscosities and densities of several vegetable oils and examined the relationship between their properties and activation energy parameters. The results showed that the nature and proportion of different types of fatty acids present in the oils significantly affected their viscosity and density.
Knowledge about of the viscous thermodynamic properties of vegetable oils is important for better understanding for the development of biodiesels. In this work, temperature dependent dynamic viscosities and densities of vegetable oils extracted from Cocos nucifera, [Copra oil (CPO) and Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO)], Calophyllum inophyllum (CaliO) and Canarium indicum (CiO) were determined experimentally. CaliO and CiO exhibited high viscosity compared to CPO/VCO due to the presence of long unsaturated fatty acid chains. Polar lipids dominated CaliO resulting in high density while non-polar lipids resulted in low density of CiO. The Eyring model was used to estimate the viscous thermodynamic activation energy parameters; Delta E-a (kJ mol(-1)) Delta H-double dagger (kJ.kg(-1)), Delta S-double dagger (J.kg(-1).K-1) and Delta G(double dagger) (kJ). For CPO/VCO: Delta E-a = 24.4, Delta H-double dagger = 23.8, Delta S-double dagger = 927. For CaliO: Delta E-a = 26.0, Delta H-double dagger = 25.9, Delta S-double dagger = 924 and for CiO: Delta E-a = 27.5, Delta H-double dagger = 26.7, Delta S-double dagger = 921. The positive and high Delta H-double dagger value in CiO corresponded to high ordering in the oil while the high value of Delta S(double dagger )in CPO/VCO signified high disorientation during flow. The viscosity and the activation energy parameters correlated well with the nature and the proportion of the different types of fatty acids present in the oils.
