Development of Renewable Energy through Heat Enhancement for Lubricants by Adding Nano Materials
Journal Title: International Journal of Mechanical and Production Engineering Research and Development (IJMPERD ) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
Industrial machines’ efficiency mostly depends on its crucial components performance in many naval applications such as hydro plants, ships, vehicles and power generation stations etc., depending on reliability and safety. It is easy to reduce various impacts by changing the way and category of lubricants being used. Selection of the proper lubricant (s) is an art, and it sharply minimizes long-term costs as well performance of components. This analysis was focused about thermal conductivity (k) for Nano fluids of Fly Ash, SiO2, Al2O3 and a biological material (material is extracted from plants and the same is used by our ancients in various applications as lubricant additive). The nano particles’ size and characteristics were measured by electron microscope scanning (SEM). The maintenance activities for several cases also have considerable environmental impact, and they must have environment friendly approach. Proper selection of well suited base stocks as well additives reduces environmental impact. The paper presents 3 different types of lubricants and they are used to examine their thermal properties, which greatly effects on performance of components. Synthetic oil, SAE 0W-20 is experimentally and analytically examined for several configurations, and data collected is calculated and compared. This analysis can provide the information and assists in the selection correct lubricant additive with minimized environmental effects. Extensive research revealed that heat transfer capacity for materials depended on thermal conductivity (k). And, an advanced technology facilitated nano fluids’ usage for further improvement in thermal conductivity.
