Abstract

In this work the temperature and share rate influence on soybean oil viscosity was studied. Moreover, a statistical analysis of the experimental data obtained by a tribological study of this oil was carried out. Following this analysis, it was concluded that the dynamic viscosity decreases with the increasing of temperature and share rate. The statistical analysis of the experimental data has contributed to obtaining a mathematical modeling of sliding speed and load influence on after wear diameter and friction coefficient.
