EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON THE VISCOSITY OF PALM OIL
Abstract
The viscosity of a liquid is a measure of that fluid's resistance to flow when acted upon by an
external force such as a pressure differential or gravity. Viscosity is a general property of all
fluids, which includes both liquids and gases. While the basic concept of viscosity is the
same for liquids and gases, changes in temperature affect the viscosity of liquids differently.
Palm oil is a common commercially-available vegetable oil with considerable high oil
content (Atta and Imaizumi, 2002, Sirisomboon, et ah, 2007, Bamgboye and Adejumo,
2008, Davies. and El-Okene, 2009.,. Unal, and Sincik, 2009, Davies, 2009,

considered to be important oil due to large application it possesses.
