Proposing new hybrid nano-engine oil for lubrication of internal combustion engines: Preventing cold start engine damages and saving energy

In this paper, viscosity of SAE 5W50 oil enriched by MWCNT and ZnO nanoparticles with combination ratio of 1:4 is experimentally investigated in solid volume fractions of 0.05, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1% and temperature range of 5 to 55 ˚C. It is done with the aim of feasibility study on achieving...
