The relevance of the study is conditioned by the wide occurrence of situations in which diesel fuel, during its storage and transportation, reacts with the environment, resulting in its oversaturation with moisture and a decrease in a number of characteristics that are of fundamental importance in the process of practical use, which necessitates the development and practical implementation of a special device that allows determining the moisture content in diesel fuel before its use. The purpose of this study is a theoretical assessment of the prospects for the development of such a device and its practical use, including an assessment of its main technical characteristics that are essential from the standpoint of practical use for measuring the moisture content of diesel fuel in various branches of its application. The leading approach is a combination of a theoretical investigation of the prospects for the development and technical improvement of a device for measuring the moisture content of diesel fuel with a systematic analysis of the main aspects of the effectiveness of its practical application. The results obtained indicate the significant importance of qualitative measurement of the parameters of the moisture content of diesel fuel and the need to use special devices to ensure the high quality of such control. The results and conclusions of this study are of significant importance for developers of special devices designed to measure the moisture content of diesel fuel and for employees of technical services whose duties include monitoring the condition of diesel fuel before its direct use and evaluating its parameters that are of fundamental importance from the standpoint of the safety of its further use.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
