Abstract:In this study, usage of nanolubricants containing Al2O3, graphene, and CNTs nanoparticles at various mass fractions in a refrigeration compressor was experimentally investigated. Thus, the required compressor electrical power was measured to determine effects of usage of nanolubricants. Nanoparticles, which were used preparation of nanolubricant were gradually added to the lubricant to determine optimum nanoparticle mass fraction for each nanoparticle kind. Consequently, it was observed that the compressor wor… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
