hi
oil maybe be taken as a component of an engine or any application like compressor.when we carry out the reliability analysis of an system,we,either overlook or presume oil's failure rate to be constant!
how do we actually analyse the failure rate or hazard rate of the engine oil,to carry out the fault tree analysis of an engine.people with hand-full data may have attempted this for sure.
has anybody attempted the reliability analysis of oil or maybe a mathematical analysis.
