Introduction
(1) 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.

(2) Surfactants are compounds that lower the surface tension

between two liquids, between a gas and a liquid, or between a
liquid and a solid.
 Objective

(1) By using vegetable oil with additives like

nanoparticle forming a green lubricant which can
replace current traditional lubricant used in
industries.
(2) 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. The current effort to overcome these limitations
includes the use of nonedible oils, additives, chemical modifications and thermal
modifications. More research and legislation in favour of the use of vegetable oil
lubricants is recommended.
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
