A Mathematical and Experimental analysis of degradation of lubricating oil in four stroke Motorbikes

Mr. S Bordoloi

Abstract


This paper presents a mathematical and experimental analysis of degradation of lubricating oil used in four-stroke motor bikes. For mathematical analysis, Debye equation have been related to the dielectric constant and temperature of lubricating oil samples of four stroke motorbikes The instrumentation system used for experimentation consists of (i) a coaxial cylindrical capacitor and a LM35 IC as sensors (ii) A ATmega 32 based microcontroller system for sampling, processing and display of signal. The coaxial cylindrical capacitive sensor and LM35 are used to provide the measure of dielectric constant and temperature of a lubricating oil sample.
