Abstract

In this chapter, the results of the considered performance parameters for fresh as well as engine-aged oil samples have been provided and discussed. In the first stage, average COF profiles and wear volume of piston ring as well as cylinder liner specimen, have been reported and discussed for blank palm TMP ester. It is followed by the investigation of dispersion stability and discussion of tribological parameters for all the nanolubricant samples. After this, the EP behavior of all the lubricant samples has been discussed.
