Experimental investigation of hybrid nano-lubricant for rheological and thermal engineering applications
Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry(2019)
摘要
Nowadays, various types of engine oils are widely used in lubricating and cooling internal combustion engines. In this study, the behavior of MWCNTs–SiO 2 (30–70)/10W40 hybrid nanofluid as part of a new generation of engine oil is investigated experimentally. A mixture of SiO 2 , with 20–30 nm particle diameter, and MWCNT, with 3–5 nm inner and 5–15 nm outer nanoparticle diameter was dispersed into a base fluid of 10W40 engine oil. Then, the viscosity of the product was measured at nanofluid concentrations and temperatures, respectively, ranging from 0.05 to 1% and 5 to 55 °C, for different values of shear rate. Also, a sensitivity analysis to the solid volume fraction was performed at different temperatures. The results show that the behavior of the samples is well fitted with the pseudo-plastic Ostwald de Waele non-Newtonian model. The viscosity of the produced hybrid nano-lubricant is found to be 35% greater than that of pure engine oil. Because of the significant deviation between the measured viscosity and the values predicted by existing classical viscosity models, a new regression model is obtained. The R 2 and adj. R 2 for the model are computed as 0.988 and 0.977, respectively, signifying strong predictability with ± 3% margin of deviation.
