| Summary, etc. | The environmental concerns associated with artificially formulated engine oils have forced a<br/>shift towards bio-based lubricants. Biolubricants, which are obtained from biological sources<br/>such as vegetable oils, animal fats, and other renewable feedstocks, have gained significant<br/>interest in recent few years to substitute traditional lubricant base oils due to their<br/>biodegradeability. These biodegradable and non-toxic lubricants propose the advantage of being<br/>derived from sustainable resources, thereby minimizing the environmental and carbon footprint<br/>associated with lubrication processes. The research work presented in this thesis was undertaken<br/>to practically investigate and compare the wear and friction performance of a possible future<br/>generation of an environmentally friendly bio-based lubricant as a potential replacement for<br/>conventional engine lubricants. In this research work, Computer Controlled Friction and Wear<br/>testing machine also called reciprocating tribometer is used for experimental testing procedure of<br/>all the lubricants. This research work will focus on improving the tribological performance of<br/>bio-based oils by adding Nano-additives and its performance will be compared against PAO and<br/>simple biolubricant (WCO). The main aim and objective of this research work is to compare the<br/>tribological performance of different lubricants including biolubricant and nano based<br/>biolubricants at various loads like 10N, 20N and 30N and at room temperature. The nano<br/>additives which were used in this study were Copper Oxide (CuO), Zinc Oxide (ZnO), Titanium<br/>Dioxide (TiO2), and Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2). Tribological performances of all lubricants<br/>were compared to check which lubricant reduce friction and wear and give better COF. After all<br/>the testing procedure, comprehensive wear analysis performed through digital 3D Olympus<br/>microscope to quantify wear volume, depth, and the identification of wear types such as abrasive<br/>and adhesive wear. Additionally, high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging<br/>is used to examine the tribofilm formation, wear patterns, and surface scars at microstructural<br/>levels. In the end, Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) was employed for elemental<br/>analysis and compositional explanation on sample surface after the testing. |
