This endeavour takes a look at investigating the Tribological homes of Bio-Nano lubricants, that specialize in their friction reduction, put on mitigation, and lubrication efficiency. Bio-based lubricants derived from renewable assets were stronger with various Nanoparticles to create hybrid Bio-Nano lubricants. The Tribological performance of those lubricants turned into evaluated using standardized testing strategies, along with pin-on-disc tribometers and 4-ball wear assessments. Results suggest that Bio-Nano lubricants exhibit superior friction discount properties compared to conventional mineral oil-based lubricants, with friction coefficient reductions of as much as 30 Percentage. Wear evaluation revealed sizeable improvements in put on resistance, with a few formulations displaying as much as 40 Percentage reduction in put on scar diameter. Lubrication performance, assessed via Stribeck curve analysis, established better performance throughout numerous lubrication regimes. The have a look at concludes that Bio-Nano lubricants provide a promising alternative to traditional lubricants, combining the environmental blessings of bio-based oils with the improved Tribological properties imparted by means of Nanoparticles. These findings have extensive implications for industrial applications searching for to enhance energy efficiency and reduce environmental effect via advanced lubrication technology.
