How wear is measured on engine parts due to nanoparticles in fuel?

17 August 2018 1 2K Report

when we add any nanoparticles to diesel or biodiesel , there will be effect on wear on engine parts. What are the methods used to measure wear in engine parts?

whether 4 ball tribometer is suitable? any other better alternative?

Virender Gurau

In my view elemental spectrometer is the best instrument to measure metallic wear in engine which are collected in lube oil.
