Frictional analysis on engine lubricant dilution by coconut oil and soybean oil derived biodiesel

Arising world economy issues, such as depletion of world crude oil reserves, are having an impact on the transportation field and automotive manufacturers. Burning of petro-diesel contributes to the increase in greenhouse gas emissions, which traps heat within the atmosphere. To prevent this, an...

TJ Mechanical engineering and machinery Arising world economy issues, such as depletion of world crude oil reserves, are having an impact on the transportation field and automotive manufacturers. Burning of petro-diesel contributes to the increase in greenhouse gas emissions, which traps heat within the atmosphere. To prevent this, an approach was proposed through alternative fuel production using biodiesel.

This study presents an experimental method to investigate the frictional properties of the engine lubricant when diluted by coconut oil and soybean oil derived biodiesel.
