technical service” of the Vinnytsia National Agrarian University (3, Solnechnaya St, Vinnytsia, 21008,

Muzychuk Vasyl – PhD, Associate Professor of the Department of “Technological Processes and
Equipment of Processing and Food Productions” of the Vinnytsia National Agrarian University (3,

The study of the reliability of the engine as a whole can be represented as a study of the
probabilistic characteristics of its reliability according to the given probabilistic characteristics of the
reliability of individual engine elements, that is, systems and mechanisms.
The article substantiates that the method of similarity and dimensional theory allows us to establish
patterns of change in the wear rate tgα depending on the adjustment of the engine parameters, and
numerous experiments are required, which makes it little practical in determining the resource and
predicting the operation of tractor engines.
A more practically acceptable method for determining the residual life of automotive engines is the
method of mathematical statistics and probability theory, and, in particular, the law of normal
distribution. However, to determine the resource of engines, using this law, it is also necessary to conduct
a large amount of testing.
Thus, at the current stage of scientific and technological progress in automotive engineering, it is
necessary to find other methods that are most practically acceptable and contribute in a short time,
without a large amount of testing, to determine the resource of machines with maximum durability, which
will be developed in subsequent works of the authors of the article.

Technology, energy, agriculture transport AIC is a scholarly professional journal with a long-standing history and stable academic tradition, reflecting the evolution of engineering and technical sciences within the agro-industrial sector of Ukraine.
The journal was founded in 1997 under the title Bulletin of Vinnytsia State Agricultural Institute. According to the Resolution of the Presidium of the Higher Attestation Commission of Ukraine dated September 11, 1997, the publication obtained the status of a professional scientific journal, which enabled the publication of the main results of doctoral and candidate dissertations in technical sciences. From its inception, the journal positioned itself as an academic platform for addressing current issues of mechanization, electrification, and technical support of agricultural production.
During 2001–2014, the journal was published under the title Proceedings of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University. Series: Technical Sciences (State Registration Certificate of Print Media KV No. 16644-5116 PR dated April 30, 2010). Throughout this period, a systematic approach to the selection and peer review of scientific manuscripts was established, the thematic scope of publications was expanded, and continuity of scientific directions as well as the development of sectoral engineering schools was ensured.
Since 2015, the journal has been published under its current title, Technology, energy, agriculture transport AIC (State Registration Certificate No. 21906-11806 R dated March 12, 2016). The change of title reflected the expansion of the journal’s thematic coverage and its orientation toward interdisciplinary research in mechanical engineering, energy systems, electrical engineering, transport technologies, automation, and digital solutions for the agro-industrial complex.
The journal consistently adheres to the principles of open science.
