The Effect of the Operating Conditions on the Apparent Viscosity of Crude Palm Oil During Oil Clarification

This paper discusses the apparent viscosity of crude palm oil, using rotary viscometer, under different boundary conditions. It was experimentally shown that the apparent viscosity of palm oil drops with increasing of the shear rate and the temperature.  However, the effect of temperature on the vis...
