| Article Name : | | | EFFICIENCY OF MULTI WALL CARBON NANO TUBES IN NANOLUBRICANT | | Author Name : | | | SHUBRAJIT BHAUMIK AND S.PRABHU | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | GRT-2347 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile View PDF In browser | | Abstract : | | | The paper predicts the exceptional extreme pressure properties of multi walled carbon nano tube as compared with traditional mineral oil which also contained some additives and graphite. The extreme pressure property was predicted by four ball tester. In the test the load bearing capacity of the newly developed nano oil was predicted to have a better value than the commercial available mineral oil. The weld load of the nanolubricant was found to be 200kgf as compared with the base mineral oil which got welded at 160kgf. Moreover, it has also been observed that with the increase in concentration of the nanoparticles the performance charecteristcs of the lubricants may also decrease. Thus, the finding would be helpful in developing new nanolubricants which would increase the life of the mating parts, reducing the chances of failure of machine and increasing the productivity. | | Keywords : | | |
