Nanolubricant been introduced in compressor might improve the performance of automotive air conditioning system. Prior testing of the nanolubricant enhancement performance, thermal conductivity of Al2O3/PAG and SiO2/PAG nanolubricants has to be investigated and compared. Al2O3 and SiO2 nanoparticle...
