Tribological Study of Nanoparticles Enriched Bio-based Lubricants for Piston Ring-Cylinder Interaction, Paperback / softback Book

Tribological Study of Nanoparticles Enriched Bio-based Lubricants for Piston Ring-Cylinder Interaction Paperback / softback

Part of the Springer Theses series

Paperback / softback

Description

This thesis investigates the tribological viability of bio-based base stock to which different nanoparticles were incorporated for engine piston-ring–cylinder-liner interaction.

It determines experimentally the effects of lubricating oil conditions (new and engine-aged) on the friction and wear of the materials used for piston rings and cylinder liners.

The specific base stock examined was a trimethylolpropane (TMP) ester derived from palm oil, and the nanoparticles were used as additives to obtain tribologically enhanced bio-based lubricants.

The overall analysis of the results demonstrated the potential of nanoparticles to improve the tribological behavior of bio-based base stock for piston-ring–cylinder-liner interaction.
