Online Purification of Contaminated Lubricant

The objective of this FYP is to develop improved model of the centrifugal separator for
online purification of contaminated lubricant. The scope of study covers mathematical
modeling and modeling of simulation using FLUENT software. The experimentation
study is excluded from the scope of study. The mathematical model is developed to
understand the mixture behavior. Then, possible improvement method in terms of
purification rate and/or quality is tested out using FLUENT simulation software. After
that, current lubricant purification methods are established and better separation system
is studied. Validation of the results from the mathematical model and FLUENT software
are done through journals. It is found that the velocity profile of the mixture of water and
oil is du = 338467238.3 dy. The rotational speed of cones at 800 rpm produce better
separation compared to rotational speed of cones at 1400 rpm. A new separation system
is studied to boost purification rate and oil quality
