Before any nanolubricant is being applied in a refrigeration system, its thermo-physical properties shall be investigated. In this paper, hybrid nanolubricant is prepared by dispersing SiO2-TiO2 nanoparticles at 50:50 composition ratio into the polyvinyl ether (PVE) compressor lubricant using a two-...
