Study oil thermal-physical properties for nanocellulose nanoparticles for sae40 engine oil for tribological behaviour

Wear and friction are inevitable problems in engineering applications which causes reduced efficiency in mechanical systems. One solution to this problem is to use a lubricant that can reduce friction and wear to a minimum, resulting in increased efficiency. The development of efficient lubricant ad...
