We can assume that despite its numerous drawbacks, ICE will remain to play the role of the dominant source of power for many years [9,12]. The lubrication system forms one of the most important systems in an engine, and a lubricating oil forms its integral part. In order to adequately verify the properties of oils during operation, there is a need to easily and accurately diagnose its quality. This fact leads to the need to adequately select a representative parameter by means of which it is possible to monitor changes occurring during its exploitation. Modern engine oils consist of various components and additives, by which a number of stringent operational requirements can be achieved and realized. Therefore, it is important to adopt and select such research methods and quantities that meet the requirements of a diagnostic parameter, can be applied to analyze the quality of the oil. The assessment of oil wear in an engine currently forms one of the most dynamically developing trends in research and is of interest to many scientific institutions [7]. This subject also forms the focus of interest of private companies operating vehicles due to the practical and economic outcomes that can be valuable to them [5,6]. All mechanisms or components of equipment are subjected to the processes of aging and wear so along with aging, engine oil changes its lubricating properties, which adversely affects the characteristics of the lubrication system.

A chemical reactor is a vessel adapted to carry out reactions taking place inside it. The purpose of industrial tank reactors is to ensure optimal economic parameters of chemical processes [18]. It can be achieved by the appropriate reactor design and by the skillful overlap of the three types of sub-processes occurring inside the reactor, namely the transfer of mass, momentum and heat. In this way, process control can be based on a dynamic selection of parameters such as: mixing intensity, temperature, pressure, substrate ratios and others. The presented research included reactors in which reactions take place between solid and liquid as well as gas and liquid. The tank reactor diagram is shown in Fig. 1. The first type of reaction concerns the crystallization of solids in a liquid environment. It covers industrial processes of synthesis and purification of solid substances and changes in particle properties. The reactors in which crystallization occurs are used in many branches of the economy, including: chemical, food [9], metallurgy and waste utilization [27]. One of the monitoring systems tasks of such processes is to provide precise information on the quantity, size and location of crystals formed in the liquid in real time. The second type of reaction relates to the gas phase and the liquid phase. Such processes type are used, inter alia, in the production of biogas. Physicochemical fermentation reactors are a key element of biogas installations. Methane fermentation of organic waste takes place inside these reactors. The correct operation of technical systems is one of the crucial conditions for obtaining an adequate level of reliability of industrial processes [10].

A proper maintenance policy, managerial processes and planning and optimization of maintenance decisions, scheduling and execution of work can lead to reduce costs, improve vehicle effectiveness, reliability and performance. Consequently, maintenance function is therefore vital for sustainable performance of any urban transport fleet. Attending the responsibility of ensuring that urban fleet achieves the expected performance, maintenance managers requires a tracking system for maintenance operations performance and results [3, 6, 20, 21]. Furthermore, it is in the interest of maintenance managers to know the relationship between the input of the maintenance process and the outcome in terms of total contribution to vehicle fleet performance and strategic objectives. The measurement of maintenance performance is indeed an essential requirement for any industry of today. This tracking action can be done through development and implementation of a proper and accurate performance measurement system and indicators that are able to quantify important elements of maintenance function performance [5, 15]. Moreover, without having a formal measurement system for maintenance performance, it is difficult to control, plan and improve the maintenance process and consequently can be considered that tracking the performance operations must be a key management issue in any industrial organization.

Joint coordinates are applied to describe the motion of the links together with the homogeneous transformations technique. Lagrange equations of the second order are used when deriving the equations of motions. Joint forces and torques are determined based on recursive Newton-Euler algorithms. These joint forces are then used in the LuGre friction model, which allows to calculate the friction coefficients and friction forces. Numerical analyses performed here show the influence of various friction forces on the vibration level as perceived by the operator of the crane.
