This thesis focus on the performance of graphene based nanolubricant in a 4-Stroke IC engine of a 125cc motorcycle engine. The nanolubricant was formulated using graphene Grade C particles and a 10W40 SF grade synthetic engine oil meeting API standards. The addition of 0.01wt% graphene particles to the 10W40 SF grade nanolubricant resulted in enhancing the thermal conductivity (к) upto 23% with increasing temperature. Moreover this increased thermal conductivity reduced the lubricant temperature in the engine & enhanced the heat transfer rate enabling greater performance, fuel consumption & wear n tear of engine components as compared to base oil |
