Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Nowadays Demand for bio lubricants is increasing due to pollution and depletion of crude oil based fuels in this globe. This paper portraits and compares the tribological behavior of jatropha bio oil with cardanol oil bywear testing machine. SAE20W40 base lubricant is blended with 5%, 10% and 15% ratios of Jatropha and cardanol based bio lubricants. While testing with 2.6m/s sliding velocity friction and wear rate of jatropha and cardanol bio lubricant is accomplished while testing under 50N, 100N and 150N loads. Low wear rate was discerned while mixing 5%and 10% jatropha bio oil with SAE20W40 lubricant, when this limit increases then the wear rate gradually increases. While conducting theexperiment with cardanol oil, addition of 5% and 15% blend with SAE20W40 lubricant has given least rate of wear. 10% blend of Cardanol oil shows increase in wear rate with SAE20W40 lubricant.The mechanical efficiency was raisedduring the usage of CB5 and CB15 at the sliding velocity of 2.5 m/s. So, CB5 and CB15 can act as best alternative lubricant.
