DEVELOPMENT OF A METHODOLOGY FOR DIESEL FUEL QUALITY CONTROL BY ACOUSTIC METHOD

Abstract

Background. The work is devoted to the study of the possibility of using the acoustic control method to determine the integrated quality indicator of diesel fuel at the early stages of its application by identifying the dependence of changes in the acoustic spectrum. The aim of the work is to develop a methodology and a schematic diagram of the complex control of the physicochemical properties of the quality of diesel fuel by the acoustic method. Materials and methods. To solve this problem, the method of synthesis of existing methods for monitoring diesel fuels with an acoustic method for monitoring some hydrocarbons was used. The novelty of the approach lies in the schematic diagram and algorithm for the implementation of the integrated control of diesel fuel. Results. A scheme and an algorithm for the implementation of the method for controlling the quality of diesel fuel by the acoustic method are proposed. Conclusions. A schematic diagram of diesel fuel control by the proposed method has been implemented. A promising methodology for the operation of the analyzer for the integrated quality control of diesel fuel has been developed.
