Optimization of Different Grades Engine Oil Viscosity
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
Mechanical engine is a complexmachine; it consists of a hundreds of moving parts. The parts of the mechanical engine are operated under a wide temperature ranges and pressure. Engine oil is used in all machines to reduce friction and control wear, so oil conditions and specifications controls the friction any wear behavior in any engine, viscosity is one of oil specifications, it shows the amount of forces between oil particles. A complete simulation of engine oil according to its viscosity is done in this study, through the experiment data a mathematical formulas for different engine oils grades are created. Engine oils 10W-40, 5W-30, and 20W-50 are selected for testing and simulation because these types are widely used in Kuwait market for engines. The SVM 3000 viscosity measuring unit is used to measure viscosity and density of engine oils 10W-40, 5W-30, and 20W-50, optimization techniques in MATLAB software are used so the minimum values of viscosity are created.
