Experimental Study of the Parameters Affecting the Tribological Performance of Nano Lubricant Containing Multi-Walled Carbon Nano-tubes (MWCNT) using Design of Experiments (DOE)
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
The Multi-Walled Carbon Nano-Tubes (MWCNT) are gaining wide acceptability as an anti-wear lubricant additive because of their extraordinary tribological properties. However, full antiwear potential of the MWCNT can be derived when it is used in a proper quantity with a suitable surfactant. The aim of the present research is to identify the factors that affect the tribological performance and to employ the Design of Experiments (DOE) to study the effect of four factors: MWCNT quantity, surfactant quantity, load and speed on the tribological performance of the nano lubricant. The tribological performance of the nano lubricant is measured in terms of wear of the block sliding against the disk in a block and disk test setup. Four levels of these factors are considered for use in the design of experiments. The interaction amongst these factors is also determined. The experimental results has been analyzed and reported.
