Transfer Properties

The thermal properties of engine oil are important traits affecting the ability of the oil to transfer heat from the engine. The larger the thermal conductivity and specific heat, the more efficiently the oil will transfer heat. In this work, we measured the thermal conductivity and specific heat of a conventional mineral oil-based diesel engine lubricant and a Group V-based LHR diesel engine lubricant as a function of temperature. We also measured the specific heat of ethylene glycol. The measured values are compared with manufacturers’ data for typical heat transfer fluids. The Group V-based engine oil had a higher thermal conductivity and slightly lower specific heat than the mineral oil-based engine oil. Both engine oils had values comparable to high-temperature heat transfer fluids.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the effect of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) nanoparticles on extreme pressure (EP) properties when used as an additive in lubricating oil. Design/methodology/approach The nano-oil was prepared by dispersing an optimal composition of 0.5 vol. per cent of 70 nm hBN in SAE 15W-40 diesel engine oil using a sonication technique. The tribological testing was performed using a four-ball tribometer according to the ASTM standard. Findings It was found that the nano-oil has a potential to decelerate the seizure point on the contact surfaces, where higher EP can be obtained. More adhesive wear was observed on the worn surfaces of ball bearing lubricated with SAE 15W-40 diesel engine oil as compared with the nano-oil lubrication. Originality/value The results of the experimental studies demonstrated the potential of hBN as an additive for improving the load-carrying ability of lubricating oil.
