The viscosities of
cottonseed oil (CSO) and cottonseed biodiesel
(CSB) were measured at atmospheric pressure and temperatures from
(293 to 373) K and (303 to 348) K, respectively. The Vogel–Fulcher–Tammann
(VFT) and Mauro (MYEGA) equations were selected to represent the temperature
dependence of the experimental data, giving deviations within the
experimental uncertainties. These equations allowed estimating the
glass transition temperatures, which were compared with available
values from literature. For viscosity prediction, the group contribution
method proposed by Ceriani was compared with the fragment approach
given by Zong for CSO. For CSB the Grunberg–Nissan equation
coupled with Ceriani and Yuan models was applied, and the influence
of the interaction parameter (Gij
) is
highlighted.
