The dynamic viscosity of castor oil was measured as a function of shear rate at different temperature ranged from
1.7°C to 62°C. In this study, shear stress and the dynamic viscosity as a function of temperature of castor oil decrease
with increasing temperatures. Three and multi-constant formulas were proposed to obtain more suitable prediction of
temperature dependence of shear stress and dynamic viscosity of castor oil. The best AAD% was calculated using
our proposed formulas to be 0.03%. This work shows that the behavior of castor oil at the temperature ranged from
1.7°C to 62°C is Newtonian behavior by fitting the model of power law.
