On-board Monitoring of Engine Oil

Conductometric Sensors for Monitoring Degradation of Automotive Engine Oil†

Conductometric sensors have been fabricated by applying imprinted polymers as receptors for monitoring engine oil quality. Titania and silica layers are synthesized via the sol-gel technique and used as recognition materials for acidic components present in used lubricating oil. Thin-film gold electrodes forming an interdigitated structure are used as transducers to measure the conductance of p...

Oil Quality Monitoring in Gasoline Spark Ignition Engine Using Oil Dielectric Measurement

Oil analysis is one of the main methods for monitoring the status of internal combustion engines and oils to ensure the lubricant's protective performance and engine health. This paper investigate oil condition monitoring in gasoline engine using oil dielectric coefficient measurement. At first capacitive sensor pectinate type is designed and manufactured that engine oil can pass through the se...

Engine Lubrication Oil Aeration

The lubrication system of an internal combustion engine serves many purposes. It lubricates moving parts, cools the engine, removes impurities, supports loads, and minimizes friction. The entrapment of air in the lubricating oil is called oil aeration. Oil aeration can be detrimental to internal combustion (IC) engines. This study attempts to determine a means to reduce the level of aeration in...

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
