Our industrial partner, GasTOPS Ltd., is a Canadian leader in machinery operation monitoring technologies. They have an interest in developing a new in-line oil monitor capable of detecting the remaining useful life of a lubricating oil. The requires an accurate model of the relationship between oil operating conditions and detectable levels of degradation by-products. While it is known qualitatively that high shear stresses, temperatures and pressures all play interdependent roles in lubricating oil breakdown, the quantitative relationship between stress levels and by-product formation rates is not understood. In this project, we will develop this understanding through a combination of theoretical calculations and experiments. The end goal will be a "engineering" model of the relationship between oil stress history and by-product formation, which will be validated with the help of the experimental data.

我们的工业合作伙伴，GasTOPS有限公司，是加拿大机械运行监控技术的领导者。他们有兴趣开发一种能够检测润滑油剩余使用寿命的新型在线油监测器。这需要一个精确的模型来描述油的操作条件和可检测到的降解副产物之间的关系。虽然已知高剪切应力、温度和压力在润滑油分解中都起着相互依赖的作用，但应力水平和副产物形成率之间的定量关系尚不清楚。在这个项目中，我们将通过理论计算和实验相结合来发展这种理解。最终目标是建立一个油压历史与副产物地层之间关系的“工程”模型，该模型将在实验数据的帮助下得到验证。
