Introduction

 Nanoparticles have been used as

lubricant oil additives in recent years.
Between various inorganic
nanoparticles which are used as
lubricant oil additives, TiO2
nanoparticles have shown so
important effects to improve the
tribological properties. Addition of
solid particles in coconut oil can
reduce friction.
 Surfactants are compounds that
lower the surface tension between
two liquids, between a gas and a
Objective

 By using vegetable oil with additives

like nanoparticle forming a green
lubricant which can replace current
traditional lubricant used in industries.
 Oleic acid is used as surfactant to
stabilize suspensions and lower the
surface tension of nanofluid.

(PAO4) and adipate.
Selection of material

After doing literature survey we are choosing following vegetable oils:

1. Coconut oil – 1.5 litre

Comparison of coconut oil with engine oil SAE20W40:

Compared to mineral SAE 20W40, coconut oils in general

possess high flash point, high viscosity index, high lubricity, low
evaporative loss, are renewable, and are environmentally
friendly. Poor oxidative and hydrolytic stability, high cost, food
versus energy debate, high temperature sensitivity of
tribological behaviour and poor cold flow properties are
reckoned to be the limitations of vegetable oils for their use as
base oils for industrial lubricants.
2. TiO2 -20gm

Properties of TiO2:
 Non-toxic, inexpensive, high photoactive, and
easily synthesised and handled.
 High electrochemical properties and high chemical
stability.
 Wide band gap and high dielectric constant and
hardness.

3. Surfactant (500 ml):

We will used oleic acid as a surfactant and mixed
20% oleic acid in each sample to lower the surface
tension nanofluid.
Methodology

 We will take coconut oil as a lubricant and titanium

oxide (TiO2) as nanoparticle and oleic acid as a
surfactant. Because this mixture is cost effective.
  We will be performing this in sonication.

 Make The Samples

(1) 0.05% TiO2 + 50ml of coconut oil
(2) 0.1% TiO2 + 50ml of coconut oil
(3) 0.2% TiO2 + 50ml of coconut oil
