Biodiesel has emerged as a viable alternative to mineral diesel in the transport sector to replace fossil fuels partially. However, long-term compatibility with engine hardware must be evaluated to ensure a smooth transition. Long-term material…
The Friction Theory (FT) for viscosity modeling is applied to a characterization method based on the Saturates-Aromatics-Resins-Asphaltenes content (SARA) which makes use of the Perturbed-Chain version of the Statistical Associating Fluid Theory…
Friction and wear behavior of nitrile butadiene rubber in crude oil with sand was investigated by the reciprocating wear tester, while the movement of sand grains of different shapes during the wear process was also studied. Morphology and chemical…
Nano lubricants are widely used from heavy machinery to compact equipment to enhance their reliability. The research towards developing eco-friendly and biodegradable lubricants using natural oils has attracted the lubrication industries worldwide in…
