Theses and Dissertations
This study is designed to research the tribological properties of nano oils developed by NanoPro MT and to determine their effects on fuel consumption in an UH-60 Blackhawk Auxiliary Power Unit (APU). For this work, two different nano oils were tested and compared against the performance of conventional oil. The first nano oil mixture contains proprietary nanodiamond particles and the second nano oil contains a mix of zinc sulfide, boron nitride, and graphene particles. Aeroshell 560 was used as the conventional oil and was blended with the nano particles to create both nano oils. This oil meets the military specifications …
