Arrhenius Equation for Calculating Viscosity in Assessing the Dilution Level of Lubricating Oil with Diesel Oil—A Case Study of SAE 30 and SAE 40 Grade Marine Lubricating Oils

: This article proposes using the Arrhenius model for estimating the viscosity of a mixture of two liquids in the quantitative assessment of the physicochemical properties of lubricating oils in the context of assessing the level of dilution of lubricating oil with diesel oil. Dynamic are made of mixtures of lubricating oil and diesel oil with known concentrations of 0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100% m/m of the diesel oil content in the mixture. Mixtures of the most popular oils (viscosity classes SAE 30 and SAE 40) with diesel oil that meet the requirements of the DMX of the marine distillate fuels category are prepared and tested. Viscosity measurements are performed at 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100 ◦ C temperatures. The Arrhenius model is used to estimate the viscosity of the mixtures with an assumed diesel oil content and to estimate the diesel oil concentration in the mixtures with a known measured viscosity value. In both cases, the absolute estimation error is determined, and the accuracy of the estimation is assessed against the known concentration of diesel oil in the mixture with lubricating oil and the temperature at which the viscosity is measured. The estimated concentrations of diesel oil in mixtures with lubricating oil are useful to assess the condition of the lubricating oil (for concentrations of diesel oil lower than 5% m/m). The method is proposed to be used in practice to support standard laboratory oil analysis.


Introduction
One of the threats that may occur during the operation of marine piston combustion engines is the deterioration of lubrication conditions, which is influenced by the design [1][2][3] and technical condition of the engine [4][5][6], and type of oil [7][8][9] and fuel [10][11][12] with which the engine is powered.There are many research results devoted to assessing the efficiency and reliability of internal combustion engines with contaminated circulating lubricating oil (LO) [13][14][15], including fuel-diluted lube oil (both distillation and residual) [16][17][18].Operating experience and test results clearly show that diluting LO with fuel is unfavorable for the engine, deteriorating the engine's operating efficiency, shortening the life of the oil, and reducing the reliability and safety of the engine [19,20].Over time, the excessive and progressive dilution of oil with fuel can lead to significant wear [7,21] and serious engine failure [22], resulting in explosions in the crankcase, among other issues [13,23].Castrol indicates in a publication that diluting LO with fuel would result in a crankcase explosion [23].
In operational practice, both macro-and micro-analytical methods are used [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31], and some of these methods are proprietary [16,28,29,32,33].A list of the most important In operational practice, both macro-and micro-analytical methods are used [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31], and some of these methods are proprietary [16,28,29,32,33].A list of the most important methods with an indication of their application variants is presented in Figure 1.In operational practice, the most employed methods for assessing the contamination of LOs with fuels are routinely used, including oil viscosity analysis and measurement of the ignition temperature of oil periodically to collect tests from the engine lubrication system [34][35][36].These macro-analytical methods are relatively cheap and generally available in most industrial laboratories.Oil viscosity changes due to contamination of the LO with fuel and may increase when the LO is diluted with distillation fuel (light or medium diesel oil (DO), gasoline, etc.), or increase due to dilution of the LO with residual fuel (i.e., heavy fuel oil).To draw conclusions regarding the dilution of oil with fuel, it is necessary to know the type of fuel used by a given engine from which the assessed LO was taken.
The advantages of using viscosity as a measure of the level of dilution of LO with DO include the general availability of both portable and laboratory equipment for viscosity measurements [17,37,38].For this reason, this method is used routinely to periodically check LOs.Moreover, the technique makes it possible to detect ethanol and biofuels such as biodiesel.
When using this method, the age and operating conditions of the oil in a given engine must be considered because a change in oil viscosity value may relate to the following factors [13,39]: Oil viscosity changes due to contamination of the LO with fuel and may increase when the LO is diluted with distillation fuel (light or medium diesel oil (DO), gasoline, etc.), or increase due to dilution of the LO with residual fuel (i.e., heavy fuel oil).To draw conclusions regarding the dilution of oil with fuel, it is necessary to know the type of fuel used by a given engine from which the assessed LO was taken.

When using this method, the age and operating conditions of the oil in a given engine must be considered because a change in oil viscosity value may relate to the following factors [13,39]: • Accumulation of pollutants (wear products of interacting machine elements, products of the combustion process, dust, and dust present in the air); • The oil being diluted with other oils, grease, or coolants;

•
Oil aging due to oxidation and thermal decomposition of components; • Depletion of additives that modify the properties of the oil (chemical reactions);

•
Infection of the oil with protozoa, bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
Considering the influence of the above-mentioned factors is possible using additional indicators such as base number, the content of sediments, and the share of metallic components, as well as the water content in the tested oil, which is periodically determined for oil samples from circulating lubrication installations of marine and industrial engines in connection with routine tests.
With the above in mind, the use of oil viscosity as a measure of the degree of dilution of LO with fuel should be used as a complementary indicator determined together with the oil ignition temperature, or possibly with the simultaneous use of other methods.
Determining the viscosity of a mixture of two or more liquids with different viscosities is a complex issue because different liquids mixed in varying proportions can have very different viscosity characteristics, which, depending on the volume fraction of the ingredients, may show high nonlinearity.So far, no universal model has been developed to describe the viscosity of a mixture of liquids with known viscosities when the share of the liquids in the mixture is known.
One of the oldest methods was developed in the second half of the 19th century.This model, developed by Svante Arrhenius, is relatively simple and is often used to roughly calculate the viscosity of a mixture of liquids with known viscosities [43].The Arrhenius model is described by the following equation: where η mix denotes the dynamic viscosity of the liquid mixture, η A signifies the dynamic viscosity of liquid A, η B is the dynamic viscosity of liquid B, x A is the mole fraction of liquid A in the mixture, x B is the mole fraction of liquid B in the mixture, and x A + x B = 1.However, the Arrhenius equation shows various inaccuracies for mixed substances with very different chemical compositions [47].This resulted in the development of several models derived from the Arrhenius equation with a larger number of parameters, including corrections relating to the properties of individual component substances.However, the disadvantages of these models include the significant complexity of the relationships and the need to know the material constants that depend on the composition of the substances used to prepare the mixture [41].
This practice has shown that for substances with a similar composition, e.g., mineral oils, the equation can be used for various purposes, and the mole shares of the mixture components can be replaced in the equation by mass fractions.Moreover, in approximate calculations for mixtures of liquids with similar densities (such as LOs of various types), it is possible to replace dynamic viscosity with kinematic viscosity in Equation (1).This fact was pointed out in the publication of ref. [41].Also, in ref. [48], the above-mentioned formula was simplified by changing mole fractions to mass fractions.
The above observations motivated the author to build a mathematical model based on the Arrhenius equation describing the viscosity of a mixture of lubricating and DOs that can be used in operational practice to assess the occurrence and quantitative assessment of the dilution of lubricating oils with DOs.To build a detailed model, the author used dynamic viscosity as the input and output quantity.Due to the difficulty in precisely determining the average molar mass of hydrocarbon mixtures, often with significantly different chemical compositions, a simplification was adopted involving the use of the actual mass percentage of DO in mixture C (% m/m): where η ULO is the calculated dynamic viscosity of the mixture of lubricating and DOs (in practice, it may be, e.g., in-service or used oil), η DO is the dynamic viscosity of the DO that powers the engine, and η FLO is the dynamic viscosity of fresh oil lubricant.
Transformations make it possible to derive a formula from Equation (2) for determining the estimated percentage of the mass share C est of DO in the mixture with LO, which for the adopted assumption is: The quantitative results of the application of Formulas ( 2) and ( 3) are presented in Appendix A, while a detailed description of how to derive these models is included in Appendix B.
To assess the suitability of Equations ( 2) and (3) for a quick, approximate assessment of the level of dilution of circulating LO with DO, an experiment was carried out in which the measured viscosity value for the known concentration of DO in a mixture with LO was compared with the value obtained using Formula (2), and the known DO content was compared with the calculated concentration value (Equation ( 3)).The level of reproduction of reality by the analyzed computational models was also assessed.

Materials and Methods
The research methodology of the experiment is presented in Figure 2. The exact dynamic viscosity value was measured for the prepared mixtures of lubricating and DOs with a known mass fraction of DO in the mixtures.Using the models described in Equations ( 2) and ( 3 The experiment used samples of clean LO contaminated with DO at given, known concentrations.To carry out the experiment, mixtures of single-grade oil belonging to viscosity classes SAE 30 and SAE 40 were made [49], with the DO meeting the requirements of the DMX of the marine distillate fuels category [50].Agip/Eni Cladium SAE 30 CD/CF LOs [51], Agip/Eni Cladium SAE 40 CD/CF [52], and Orlen Efecta Diesel Biodiesel (desig- The experiment used samples of clean LO contaminated with DO at given, known concentrations.To carry out the experiment, mixtures of single-grade oil belonging to viscosity classes SAE 30 and SAE 40 were made [49], with the DO meeting the requirements of the DMX of the marine distillate fuels category [50].Agip/Eni Cladium SAE 30 CD/CF LOs [51], Agip/Eni Cladium SAE 40 CD/CF [52], and Orlen Efecta Diesel Biodiesel (designation CN27102011D) [53] were used.Both LOs met the requirements of the API CD/CF quality class (Series III) [54] and specifications of marine engine manufacturers.The physicochemical properties of the lubricating and DOs used to prepare the mixtures tested in this experiment, declared by the manufacturers, are presented in Tables 1 and 2. For mixtures of each of the tested LOs, the dynamic viscosity of mixtures with a known mass fraction of DO in the LO equal to 0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100% m/m of DO was determined.The measurements were performed at temperatures of 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100 • C (temperatures of 40, 50, and 100 • C were used as reference temperatures for determining viscosity and derived values in accordance with the requirements of various standards).The dynamic viscosity of the tested mixtures η ULO (mPa•s) at a given measurement temperature t was determined according to the following relationship: where ν ULO is the kinematic viscosity of the mixture (mm 2 /s) determined at temperature t and ρ ULO is the density of the tested mixture (kg/m 3 ) at temperature t.
The density of individual samples ρ ULO was measured using a DMA 4500 apparatus (Anton Paar GmbH, Graz, Austria) with an oscillating U-tube according to the ISO 12185:2002 standard [61].The accuracy of the camera's setting was 0.02 • C.However, the density measurement accuracy was 5 × 10 −5 g/cm 3 .The kinematic viscosity was measured using a Cannon-Fenske Opaque glass capillary apparatus (Paradise Scientific Company Ltd., Dhaka, Bangladesh) and a TV 2000 viscometer bath (Labovisco bv, Zoetermeer, the Netherlands) in accordance with the ISO 3104:2004 standard [56].The accuracy of the measurement temperature setting was 0.01 • C. The accuracy of the device was 0.1 mm 2 /s.Appendix A, including Tables A1 and A2, presents the dynamic viscosity value of the tested mixtures determined as a result of the measurement.
For the known concentrations of DO in mixture C (% m/m), the known value of the dynamic viscosity of pure LO, η FLO (mPa•s), the dynamic viscosity of pure DO, η DO (mPa•s), and the estimated value of the dynamic viscosity of each of the tested substances, η ULO (mPa•s), were calculated according to the proposed model described with Formula (2).The obtained results are presented in Appendix A in Tables A3 and A4.The actual value of the dynamic viscosity was compared with the calculated (estimated) value, and the absolute estimation error δ η (mPa•s) of dynamic viscosity was determined, the value of which is listed in Appendix A in Tables A5 and A6.The error δ η was calculated according to the following relationship: Similarly, using relationship (3), the estimated value of the mass share of DO C est (% m/m) in the mixture was determined, calculations of which were based on the measured value of the dynamic viscosity of the tested mixture, η ULO (mPa•s), the known dynamic viscosity of the LO, η FLO (mPa•s), and the dynamic viscosity of the DO, η DO (mPa•s).The obtained results are presented in Appendix A in Tables A7 and A8.The actual value of the dynamic viscosity was compared with the calculated value, and the absolute estimation error δ C (% m/m) of diesel oil concentration was determined, the value of which is listed in Appendix A in Tables A9 and A10.The error δ C was calculated according to the following relationship: The obtained results were used to draw final conclusions and assess the usefulness of the Arrhenius model in assessing the properties of mixtures of the analyzed type.

Results and Discussion
Figures 3 and 4 compare the measured value of dynamic viscosity with the value calculated using the previously presented model based on the Arrhenius equation for mixtures of SAE 30 and SAE 40 LO with DO, respectively, depending on the measurement temperature.Apart from the DO concentration in the mixtures of 0% and 100%, in all cases, an overestimation of the calculated values compared to the actual values is observed.The exact representation of the values for extreme concentrations of 0% and 100% of DO in a mixture with LO results from the specificity of the calculation model, in which the exact value of the dynamic viscosity of lubricating and DOs must be entered among the input values.
At the same time, the difference between the calculated and measured values decreases as the share of one of the components in the mixture increases or decreases relative to the value of 50% m/m.The overestimation of the calculated value relative to the actual value decreases as the measurement temperature increases.This nature of the changes applies to both the SAE 30 and SAE 40 oil mixtures.
Figures 5 and 6 present the values of absolute error in the estimation of dynamic viscosity for the tested mixtures of lubricating and DOs, respectively, as a function of the mass fraction of the mixture components and as a function of the measurement temperature.

The maximum recorded values of absolute estimation error in the case of the tested mixtures of LO with DO at a measurement temperature of 40         In the case of the SAE 30 oil mixtures, the largest absolute estimation error was 12.4% m/m and concerned the measurement of the mixture viscosity at a temperature of 40 °C for the mixture containing 50% m/m DO.In the case of the SAE 40 oil mixtures, the maximum recorded absolute estimation error in the entire analyzed concentration range was 11.87% m/m, and also concerned the mixture with 50% m/m DO with the mixture viscosity measurement taken at a temperature of 40 °C.In normal conditions, for DO concentrations between 0 and 5% m/m, the absolute estimation error did not exceed 3% m/m.

Conclusions
An estimation of dynamic viscosity using the Arrhenius model can be used in the quantitative assessment of LO dilution with DO for single-grade LOs of SAE 30 and SAE 40 classes as a complementary element of analysis next to the measurement of the flash point.The obtained analysis results showed a good representation of this model.The accuracy of the presented method increases as the measurement temperature increases.
The use of the Arrhenius equation to estimate the mass concentration of DO in a mixture with LO shows a practically acceptable reflection of reality.Moreover, the obtained value of the absolute estimation error supports the validity of using the presented model in operational practice in the general assessment of the physicochemical properties of engine oils subjected to periodic, routine control.
When concluding on the impact of the potential dilution of LO with DO on changes in viscosity, one must consider several factors, apart from the dilution of LO with fuel, that affect viscosity in real conditions.However, if we are certain that the LO is diluted with fuel, the presented methodology is a convenient and easy-to-use tool for the quantitative assessment of the level of dilution of LO with DO.Nevertheless, due to the large relative error, the use of the presented model for the accurate quantitative assessment of oil dilution level is not recommended.In the case of the SAE 30 oil mixtures, the largest absolute estimation error was 12.4% m/m and concerned the measurement of the mixture viscosity at a temperature of 40 • C for the mixture containing 50% m/m DO.
In the case of the SAE 40 oil mixtures, the maximum recorded absolute estimation error in the entire analyzed concentration range was 11.87% m/m, and also concerned the mixture with 50% m/m DO with the mixture viscosity measurement taken at a temperature of 40 • C. In normal conditions, for DO concentrations between 0 and 5% m/m, the absolute estimation error did not exceed 3% m/m.

Further research may be related to the testing of other types of liquids (including impure crankcase oils, biodiesels, and recycled fuels).Moreover, we advise researchers to analyze other models of physical characteristics of oil mixtures in terms of their applicability to estimate lubricating oil dilution with fuels.It is also worthwhile to develop methods connected to the proposed approach, together with standardized analytical tests, in order to obtain comprehensive data on lubricating oils.After applying the relationships and simplifying the difference of logarithms, we obtain dependency (A13), which is the model described in this article via Equation (3):
