Recently the studies focus on the use nanoparticles with lubricants in refrigeration and air conditioning systems in view of their significant impact on improving the coefficient of performance of these systems as well as thermophysical properties of pure lubricating oils and thus reducing energy consumption. In this study, nanoparticles were synthesized in an easy and cheap way and from materials available in chemistry laboratories as following copper oxide, cerium oxide, mixture 1 consisted of 50% copper oxide with 50% cerium oxide, mixture 2 consisted of 60% copper oxide with 40% cerium oxide, mixture 3 consisted of 70% copper oxide with 30% cerium oxide, mixture 4 consisted of 40% copper oxide with 60% cerium oxide, and mixture 5 consisted of 30% copper oxide with 70% cerium oxide to study their effectiveness on enhancing the thermophysical properties of POE, PAG lubricating oil using mathematical equations available from earlier studies. The results obtained from the mathematical equations showed an increase in the viscosity of POE from 40 mm2/sec to 45 mm2/sec at 0.05 wt.% and reached 108.86 mm2/sec by increasing the concentration of nanoparticles to 0.33wt.%, as well as the improvement of viscosity of PAG from 46 mm2/sec to 52.9 mm2/sec at the concentration of nanoparticles 0.05 wt.%, recording a significant improvement when the concentration of nanoparticles reached 0.33 wt.%, as well as for the rest of the other physical properties. This is consistent with earlier studies that confirmed the improvement of the physical properties of lubricants through mixing them with nanoparticles.</p> 2024-11-12T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 HudaElslam Mohamed, Ali A.
