  2. Mustard oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustard_oil

    Its pungent flavor is due to allyl isothiocyanate, a phytochemical of plants in the mustard family, Brassicaceae (for example, cabbage, horseradish or wasabi).. Mustard oil has about 60% monounsaturated fatty acids (42% erucic acid and 12% oleic acid); it has about 21% polyunsaturated fats (6% the omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid and 15% the omega-6 linoleic acid), and it has about 12% saturated fats.

  3. Allyl isothiocyanate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allyl_isothiocyanate

    The product obtained in this fashion is known as volatile oil of mustard. It is used principally as a flavoring agent in foods. Synthetic allyl isothiocyanate is used as an insecticide , as an anti-mold agent [ 9 ] bacteriocide , [ 10 ] and nematicide , and is used in certain cases for crop protection. [ 4 ]

  4. Viscosity index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity_index

    where U is the oil's kinematic viscosity at 40 °C (104 °F), Y is the oil's kinematic viscosity at 100 °C (212 °F), and L and H are the viscosities at 40 °C for two hypothetical oils of VI 0 and 100 respectively, having the same viscosity at 100 °C as the oil whose VI we are trying to determine.

  5. SAE J300 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAE_J300

    But SAE also allows designating an oil with two viscosity grades, referred to as a multi-grade oil. For example, 10W-30 designates a common multi-grade oil. A 10W-30 oil must pass the SAE J300 viscosity grade requirements for both 10W and 30, and all limitations placed on the viscosity grades, such as the requirement that a 10W oil must fail ...

  6. Viscosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity

    Extensional viscosity can be measured with various rheometers that apply extensional stress. Volume viscosity can be measured with an acoustic rheometer. Apparent viscosity is a calculation derived from tests performed on drilling fluid used in oil or gas well development. These calculations and tests help engineers develop and maintain the ...

  7. List of viscosities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_viscosities

    Dynamic viscosity is a material property which describes the resistance of a fluid to shearing flows. It corresponds roughly to the intuitive notion of a fluid's 'thickness'. For instance, honey has a much higher viscosity than water. Viscosity is measured using a viscometer. Measured values span several orders of magnitude.

  8. Non-Newtonian fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Newtonian_fluid

    In physics and chemistry, a non-Newtonian fluid is a fluid that does not follow Newton's law of viscosity, that is, it has variable viscosity dependent on stress. In particular, the viscosity of non-Newtonian fluids can change when subjected to force. Ketchup, for example, becomes runnier when shaken and is thus a non-Newtonian fluid.
