ANALYSIS OF THE MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF THE WASTE OIL PURIFICATION IN A DIESEL LOCOMOTIVE ENGINE
The article analyses a mathematical model of the waste oil purification in the oil system of a diesel locomotive engine. Waste oil purification takes place directly in the engine during its operation, which enables to reduce considerably the time taken to purify, and to decrease the concentration of impurities in the oil. In the proposed system for automatic control of waste oil purification, the main monitored parameters are pressure and temperature of the oil being purified. During analyzing the analytical solution of the system, the authors studied an increase in the concentration of impurity particles, the behavior of particle velocities in the centrifuge, and determined assumptions, within the framework of which the velocity of impurity particles was simulated. The influence of the impurity particle shape in the oil was taken into account in making these assumptions.
