...Camila Müller; Franco Leonardo Redondo; Mariana Dennehy; Andrés Eduardo Ciolino; Walter Roberto Tuckart Purpose The purpose of this study is to design a fluid formulation with good lubricant properties by using an environmentally friendly additive for: high and low contact pressure conditions...

..., whereas specific wear rate reduced ranging from 15 to 29 per cent only at low load for all temperature ranges. Practical implications The standardised test may not represent the actual condition of a real running diesel engine. Originality/value Because the lubricity of biodiesel was difficult...

...Aslı Işler; Onursal Yakaboylu; Tamer Alyakut; Filiz Karaosmanoğlu Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate alternatives for four stroke 10w40 motorcycle engine oils. Today, mineral and synthetic‐based lubricants are widely used but because of ecological aspects, which are gaining...

... failed on the dynamometer, while it was tested before delivery to the customer. The most common failure on a large number of these engines, were pistons seizing in the crown region causing seizure of the piston in the cylinder. Tests were done to correlate the lubricity of the fuel that was used...
