Engine Model

The aim of this study is to develop a mathematical model of the lubricating oil viscosity changes during the exploitation time of the engine.The aim was achieved by measurements of dynamic viscosity of engine oil used in a passenger car Volkswagen Touran equipped with a turbocharged diesel engine with a capacity of 2.0 liters. The recommended interval for oil change in this engine model is 30000 km. Oil used in this study was Shell Helix AV-L (viscosity grade SAE 5W30, designation VW: 50700).Viscosity tests were made on a Haake MARS III using two measuring systems. The first consisted of a plate-cone system with Peltier element for temperature stabilization. The second one is the high shear rate chamber with temperature control thermostat co-operating with ultra-A40 AC200 which can operate at temperatures ranging from-40 °C to +200 °C. The high shear rate chamber, consisting of a measuring cylinder and the rotor, the shear rate can achieve up to 200000 s–1.Dynamic viscosity measurements were performed at temperatures ranging from 20 °C to 90 °C.The results of the research are shown in the graphs and in tabular form. Obtained graphs made it possible to determine characteristics of the oil ageing for each mileages, temperatures and shear rates.

Rheological Performance

Since the surfactant can form rod-like micelles or even cross-link structures, viscoelastic surfactant (VES) fluid has unique rheological characteristics. The demerits of VES fluids have been proven after being applied as the fracturing fluid for several years. However, the fluid has high fluid loss and a low viscosity at high temperature, which limits the application to hydraulic fracturing. This paper focuses on the VES fluid mixed with nanoparticles which should be an effective way to maintain the viscosity at high temperature and high shear rate. The experiments were based on preparation of uniform and stable nanocolloids, which utilize Microfluidizer high shear fluid processor. Dynamic light scattering and microscopic methods are employed to investigate the stability and micro-structure of the VES fluid. The effects of temperature, shear rate and volume fraction of the nanoparticles on rheology of VES were studied. The SiO2 nanoparticles could significantly improve the rheological performance of VES fluid, although the rheological performance at the temperature over 90 °C needs to be enhanced. The mechanisms of interactions between nanoparticles and micelles are also discussed later in the paper. At the end, the potential of VES fluid mixed with nanoparticles during application in fracturing process was discussed.

Bearing System

Engine oil lubricated (semi) floating ring bearing (S)FRB systems in passenger vehicle turbochargers (TC) operate at temperatures well above ambient and must withstand large temperature gradients that can lead to severe thermo-mechanical induced stresses. Physical modeling of the thermal energy flow paths and an effective thermal management strategy are paramount to determine safe operating conditions ensuring the TC component mechanical integrity and the robustness of its bearing system. On occasion, the selection of one particular bearing parameter to improve a certain performance characteristic could be detrimental to other performance characteristics of a TC system. The paper details a thermohydrodynamic model to predict the hydrodynamic pressure and temperature fields and the distribution of thermal energy flows in the bearing system. The impact of the lubricant supply conditions (pressure and temperature), bearing film clearances, oil supply grooves on the ring ID surface are quantified. Lubricating a (S)FRB with either a low oil temperature or a high supply pressure increases (shear induced) heat flow. A lube high supply pressure or a large clearance allow for more flow through the inner film working towards drawing more heat flow from the hot journal, yet raises the shear drag power as the oil viscosity remains high. Nonetheless, the peak temperature of the inner film is not influenced much by the changes on the way the oil is supplied into the film as the thermal energy displaced from the hot shaft into the film is overwhelming. Adding axial grooves on the inner side of the (S)FRB improves its dynamic stability, albeit increasing the drawn oil flow as well as the drag power and heat flow from the shaft. The predictive model allows to identify a compromise between different parameters of groove designs thus enabling a bearing system with a low power consumption.
