Experimental Study of the Effect of Crude Palm Oil (Non-Newtonian Fluid) Viscosity on Increasing Flowrate Capacity
Keywords:
Viscosity, Crude Palm Oil, Flow CapacityAbstract
: Crude Palm Oil's viscosity level is very influential in the distribution in palm oil mills. This research
shows that the high temperature will cause the viscosity to decrease. The force given to Crude Palm Oil can also
reduce its viscosity levels. This proves that Crude Palm Oil is a Non-Newtonian fluid. This test shows that
Crude Palm Oil with a temperature below 60°C has a discharge that is still changing from the first minute to the
third minute. Meanwhile, Crude Palm Oil with a temperature above 60°C has a discharge that does not change
after the first minute. From this, it can be concluded that 60°C is the best temperature for palm oil mills in the
distribution of Crude Palm Oil.
