DETERMINING THE COEFFICIENTS OF THE PSEUDO-VISCOSITY OF ENGINE OILS
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2012, Vol 244, Issue 4
Abstract
During the operation of the internal combustion engines, lubricating oils wear out. The following has a significant impact on that process wear of engine parts and contact of wearing elements with working oil, the destruction of bonds in the polymer chains of oil and oil additives, contaminants from the environment, and combustion products. This causes the lubricant to become a non-Newtonian viscoelastic fluid. A Rivlin-Ericksen constitutive relation can by used in the analysis of slide bearings hydrodynamic lubrication by non-Newtonian viscoelastic oils. In a specific case that relation becomes a Newtonian model. The analysis makes it necessary to know the values of the viscosity coefficient η and also the values of pseudo-viscosity coefficients α, β, γ. The obtained values of viscosity and pseudo-viscosity coefficients will be used in further studies and analytical and numerical calculations of slide bearings hydrodynamic lubrication by non-Newtonian viscoelastic oils. Determining the viscosity and pseudo-viscosity coefficients is based on a method suggested by Prof. K. Wierzcholski and involves measuring a viscosity values in wide range of shear rates. The next step in that method is to describe the obtained curves by a mathematical formulae and calculate some required parameters. Finally, taking into account measured values of viscosity for low and high shear rates, pseudo-viscosity coefficients can be calculated.
