ANALYTICAL METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE SERVICE LIFE OF OIL IN AN ENGINE,

Abstract

A method, based on theoretical considerations and experimental data, is suggested for determining the service time of a lubricant in any aircraft engine. The study includes numerous equations e.g.: a formula for determinating the processes of oxidation in relation to various operational elements of the engine and properties of lubrication oil; a formula for determining engine wear in relation to its parameters and lube oil properties; a formula for determining the content of inorganic admixtures in the lube oil; and a formula for determining engine wear as affected by the inorganic admixtures in the lube oil.
