Summary of Practice4.1 The Wright Blending Method calculates the viscosity ofa blend of com
20、ponents at a given temperature from the knownviscosities, temperatures, and blending fractions of the com-ponents. The viscosities and temperatures of the componentsand the blend are mathematically transformed into MacCoull-Walther-Wright functions. The temperatures at which eachcomponent has two re
21、ference viscosities are calculated. Thetransformed reference temperatures are summed over all com-ponents as a weighted average, with the blend fractions as theweighting factors. The two temperatures at which the blend hasthe reference viscosities are used to calculate the blendviscosity at any othe
22、r temperature.4.2 The Inverse Wright Blending Method calculates theblend fractions of components required to meet a target blendviscosity from the known viscosities and temperatures of thecomponents. The viscosities and temperatures of the compo-nents and the blend are mathematically transformed int
23、oMacCoull-Walther-Wright functions. The temperatures atwhich each component has the target blend viscosity arecalculated. The component transformed temperatures aresummed over all components, as a weighted average, to meetthe target blend transformed temperature. The weighting fac-tors are the desir
24、ed blend fractions, which are obtained byinverting the weighted summation equation.4.3 The ASTM Blending Method calculates the viscosity ofa blend of components at a given temperature from the knownviscosities of the components at the same temperature and theirblending fractions. The viscosities of
25、the components and theblend are mathematically transformed into MacCoull-Walther-Wright functions. The transformed viscosities are summedover all components as a weighted average, with the blendfractions as the weighting factors. The transformed viscosity isuntranformed into viscosity units.4.4 The
26、Inverse ASTM Blending Method calculates theblend fractions of components required to meet a target blendviscosity at a given temperature from the known viscosities ofthe components at the same temperature. The viscosities of thecomponents and the blend are mathematically transformed intoMacCoull-Wal
27、ther-Wright functions. The component trans-formed viscosities are summed over all components, as aweighted average, to equal the target blend transformed vis-cosity. The weighting factors are the desired blend fractions,which are obtained by inverting the weighted summationequation.5. Significance a
28、nd Use5.1 Predicting the viscosity of a blend of components is acommon problem. Both the Wright Blending Method and theASTM Blending Method, described in this practice, may beused to solve this problem.5.2 The inverse problem, predicating the required blendfractions of components to meet a specified
29、 viscosity at a giventemperature may also be solved using either the Inverse WrightBlending Method or the Inverse ASTM Blending Method.5.3 The Wright Blending Methods are generally preferredsince they have a firmer basis in theory, and are more accurate.The Wright Blending Methods require component
30、viscositiesto be known at two temperatures. The ASTM BlendingMethods are mathematically simpler and may be used whenviscosities are known at a single temperature.5.4 Although this practice was developed using kinematicviscosity and volume fraction of each component, the dynamicviscosity or mass frac
31、tion, or both, may be used instead withminimal error if the densities of the components do not differgreatly. For fuel blends, it was found that viscosity blendingusing mass fractions gave more accurate results. For base stockblends, there was no significant difference between massfraction and volum
