Abstract

The Load carrying capacity of journal bearing mainly depends on the viscosity of oil being used. The addition of nanoparticles in the lubricating oil enhances the performance characteristics of journal bearing. Lubricant additives play a major role in improving the tribological properties of modern day lubricants. The study reveals that by adding in nanoparticle in lubricating oil, it is found that increase in load carrying capacity in comparison to plain engine oil. The analysis also reveals there is decrease in friction force for lubricating oil of journal bearings using nano lubricants as compared to plain lubricating oil.
