Understanding Motor Oil Types, Additives, and Their Functions

Oils & Additives

Types of Motor Oil

  • Mineral Oil: Obtained from the distillation of crude oil through various refining processes.
  • Semi-Synthetic Oil: A mixture of mineral and synthetic oils, typically composed of 70-80% mineral oil and 20-30% synthetic oil.
  • Synthetic Oil: Created through chemical reactions, including esters and synthesized hydrocarbons, specifically polyalphaolefins.

Additives in Motor Oil

Additives constitute approximately 15-25% of motor oil and enhance its properties.

Additives that

Keynesian Model, Money Supply, Production, and External Sector

Keynesian Model

Real or Aggregate Demand (DA)

  • y = c + z
  • c = a + by
  • z = go + g1i
  • y = (a + go + g1i) / (1 – b) = y = f(i)

Money Supply (S. Moneta)

  • Md = L(l, y)
  • Ms = (1/p) * h(i)
  • L(l, y) = (1/p) * h(i)

Production (S. Producc)

  • y = F(N)
  • Pman = W
  • Yo = F(No)
  • Ns = f(w)

External Sector Model (S. Exterior)

  • Y = C + I + G + X – M
  • y = Co + bY + Io + Go + Xo – Mo + My
  • y(1 – b – m) = Co + Io + Go + Xo – Mo
  • y = (Co + Io + Go + Xo – Mo) / (1 – b – m)

Chemical Reactions: Energy, Enthalpy, and Equilibrium

The Power of Chemical Reactions: Energy and Chemical Balance

6.1 Energy in Chemical Reactions

Chemical reactions are always accompanied by an exchange of energy. This can be either a release or absorption of energy because the energy that the reactants have is different from the energy that the products possess. A chemical reaction involves the breaking of bonds in reactants and the formation of new bonds in products. Breaking bonds requires energy, while the formation of bonds normally entails a

Sterile & Non-Sterile Compounding: Best Practices

Hand-Washing Procedure

  1. Remove all jewelry. Makeup, nail polish, and false nails should not be worn.
  2. Prior to opening a scrub/brush pocket, squeeze it several times to activate the soap. Remove the scrub, sponge brush, and nail pick, and discard the packaging.
  3. Press the foot pedals to begin the flow of water. When the water is warm, wet your hands and forearms.
  4. Do not set down the sponge. Use nail picks to clean under nails. Discard the picks when finished.
  5. Scrub under the nails of each fingernail and

EDTA, Chemical Formulas, and Boiler Cleaning Calculations

Conversions and Miscellaneous Formulas

  • 1 Cubic foot = 7.48 gallons
  • Cubic feet = Length x Width x Height
  • PSI = Elevation x 0.433
  • 1 PSI = 2.31 Feet
  • 454 grams per pound
  • Grams to Pounds: grams x 0.0022046
  • Liters to Gallons: Liters x 0.26417

Nitrogen Displacement

Volume in gallons x 0.134 = SCF N2 needed to displace a vessel

EDTA

Molecular weight = 292

Dividing the molecular weight of EDTA acid by the atomic weight of the metal being complexed will result in obtaining the required amount of EDTA necessary to complex
