Dalam kajian ini, kami menilai kelakuan asas minyak mineral (Mobil Extra 2T) yang dikenakan tekanan daripada keadaan pegun ke 1900 1/s keterikan pada masa keterikan yang berlainan (60, 300 dan 900 s) dan dikekalkan pada 1900 1/s keterikan di antara 30 dan 60 s, dan kemudiannya dengan pengurangan keterikan sehingga keadaan pegun pada masa keterikan 60, 300 dan 900 s. Proses ini diulangi daripada 40 ke 100°C dengan peningkatan suhu 20°C. Pengukuran kelikatan dilakukan dengan ThermoHaake (Rheometer model RS600) dan pengawal suhu (Haake – Phoenix model C1 35P). Kegagalan persamaan reologi dalam permodelan hubungan kelikatan–keterikan dikenalpasti dan persamaan alternative iaitu siri Fourier dicadang sebagai pengganti dengan nilai R2 bersamaan 0.99. Integrasi siri Fourier daripada 0 ke 1900 1/s telah dilakukan pada lengkung peningkatan dan penurunan keterikan. Keputusan menunjukkan lesapan–keterikan ( τL ) boleh diwakili dengan perbezaan nilai integrasi di antara lengkung peningkatan dan penurunan keterikan, pada satu suhu dan masa keterikan. Kaedah ini dicadangkan untuk menilai prestasi minyak pada pemerolehan semula kelikatan selepas dikenakan keterikan.

In this study, we evaluate the fundamental behaviour of mineral oil (Mobil Extra 2T) that was stressed from stagnant condition to a shear rate of 1900 1/s in different shearing time (60, 300 and 900 s), remained at constant shear rate of 1900 1/s between 30 to 60 s, and continued by decreasing shear rate to stagnant condition at specific shearing time of 60, 300 and 900 s. This process was repeated from 40 to 100°C with an interval of 20°C. Viscosity measurement was carried out by ThermoHaake (Rheometer model RS600) and temperature control (Haake – Phoenix model C1 35P). Failure of rheological models in modeling the relationship of viscosityshear rate was demonstrated and alternative model i.e. Fourier series was proposed as a substitution with a high R–squared value of 0.99. Integration of Fourier series from 0 to 1900 1/s was carried out on increasing and decreasing shear rate–generated curves. Results showed a consistent trend of lost–shear stress ( τL ), represented by the difference of integration value of increasing and decreasing shear rate–generated curves, at specific temperature and shearing time. This method is proposed to evaluate the performance of oil on viscosity recovery after historical treatment of shear rate.
