Abstract
Metalworking fluids are designed to perform specified tasks in the factory. However, these fluids can become contaminated during the manufacturing process by other factory components such as tramp oil. As more and more tramp oil contaminates the metalworking fluids, the less effective the fluids become, resulting in degraded products. To predict the contamination rate and thus have a tank-side timed application of oil remover, the researcher developed a predictive model.
