Abstract

Viscosity is the resistance of a fluid to flow due to internal friction on the layers of the fluid. An example of such fluid is engine oil which happens to be viscous and thus serves as a lubricant for the moving parts of automobile engines to work efficiently. However, this lubrication is only possible because automobile engines generate heat that reduces viscosity and allows the smooth flow of oil through engine parts. So, we conducted an experiment to determine the effect of temperature on the viscosity of engine oil A, B, C, D and E. Thereafter, we used MATLAB programming to analyze and optimize the viscosity of these fluids. Results show that at the temperature range of (35 – 95)°C, the viscosity of SAE20W-50W (A, B, C, D and E) engine oil is maximum at (0.5079, 0.4848, 0.4971, 0.4980, and 0.4846) kg/ms respectively and minimum at (0.2793, 0.2934, 0.2804, 0.2682 and 0.2806) kg/ms respectively. Therefore, increase in temperature decreases the viscosity and cooling rate of engine oils to provide a favorable lubrication. Conclusively, we established that engine oils B, C and E are more preferable for automobile users in both industries and households.
