Method and system of product development process for chemical compositions using high volume modeling

A method of transforming a product development process to reduce time in bringing a product to market through high throughput experimentation and advanced statistics and informatics, to transform the product development to a level of higher correlation with engine tests and to develop better commercial products, the method comprising the steps of:

• modeling in Silico a plurality of component molecular models;
• deriving in Silico molecular characteristics (descriptors) for each of said plurality of component molecular models;
• creating at least one combinatorial library database record for each of said models, said at least one record having a plurality of fields for storing information about compositional characteristics;
• receiving specification requirements for a lubricating oil composition;
• selecting from a database entries corresponding to compositions having specifications comparable to the received specification requirements;
• formulating a new lubricating oil composition to comply with received specification requirements;
• testing said new lubricating oil composition for compliance with received specification requirements;
• repeating said selecting, formulating, and testing steps until compliance with received specification requirements is achieved;
• and
• correlating the lubricating oil composition to actual engine performance.
