Nanoparticles have been studied as additives to lubrication oils for reducing friction and wear. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of different size nanoparticles on engine oil. Nanolubricant containing 13 nm and 52 nm Al2O3 nanoparticles in engine oil as base fluid in different...
