| Abstract: | This study presents lubrication, wear and thermal
conductivity of transesterified soya bean oil (SBO). Nano copper particle was
added to soya bean methyl ester (SBME) to improve wear resistance and heat
transfer characteristics. Various SBO formulations (Crude SBO, SBME, SBME +
1.5% nano copper) and commercial mineral oil based 4T oil were tested for
tribological and thermal conductivity. Wear results of SBME+1.5% Cu showed
reduction in wear scar diameter by 12% compared to SBME, and 9.5% compared to
4T oil. Thermal conductivity of SBME+1.5% Cu was 1.66 times more than that of
SBME, and 1.83 times more than that of 4T mineral oil. |
