Performance of air-conditioning system with different nanoparticle composition ratio of hybrid nanolubricant

To reduce fuel consumption, the automotive air-conditioning (AAC) system’s coefficient of performance (COP) needs to be improved. The use of a diverse selection of hybrid nanolubricant composition ratios is expected to improve the properties of single nanolubricants, resulting in improved AAC system...
