Zusammenfassung:The current study aims to conduct an empirical investigation on the performance of copper (II) oxide (CuO), Graphene Oxide (GO), and Molybdenum (VI) Oxide (MoO3) nanoparticles as additives for HB-80 base lubricant and their effects on essential characteristics such as density, flashpoint and flammability, cloud point and pour point, viscosity and viscosity indicators, thermal conductivity coefficient, friction coefficient and wear. The test results show that nanoparticles have minor effects on density and viscosity but managed to improve viscosity indicators. Flashpoint, flammability, cloud point, and pour point all increased after the addition of nanoparticles. The increase in the concentration of nanoparticles also improved and increased the lubricant's thermal conductivity coefficient; the highest increase was 11.3 % compared to the base oil with the addition of 1 wt% CuO. Adding nanoparticles to lubricant decreases wear and friction coefficient by creating a lubricant film, especially at lower nanoparticle concentrations, which leads to a more stable lubricant film by nanoparticles. Copper (II) Oxide nanoparticles had the best performance in reducing friction coefficient and wear at 0.2 wt% with 22.86 % and 63.92 % reduction compared to the base oil, respectively.
