Abstract

Kinematic viscosity of biodiesel is important physical properties and directly effect on the injection process of the engine. It changes with the chemical composition of fatty acid and temperature. This research aims to correlate between kinematic viscosity and molecular mass of fatty acid methyl ester by Gibbs energy additivity method (GEAM), to use a simple equation for estimating kinetic viscosity. Accordingly, it was found that kinematic viscosity is highly linear relationship to molecular mass. Hence, kinematic viscosity of both fatty acid methyl ester and biodiesels can be estimated by using the same equation in temperature range of 278.15- 373.15 K. The AAD are still accepted. Therefore, the equation is very useful for the rapid application of kinematic viscosity, timesaving and cost reduction of experimental.
