Abstract
In the present work, coconut-oil-based hybrid nano-lubricants are prepared by dispersing CeO2 and CuO nanoparticles in three different proportions 75/25, 50/50, and 25/75. Experimental studies on the viscosity of hybrid nano-lubricants have been carried out by varying the concentration of combined nanoparticles in weight % from 0 to 1% and temperature ranging from 30 to 60 °C for each proportion of CeO2/CuO nanoparticles. A new empirical correlation and an optimal artificial neural network (ANN) for each proportion of CeO2/CuO nanoparticles in terms of temperature and concentration are devised to assess the viscosity ratio of hybrid nano-lubricant, using 48 experimental data. The results showed that the output of correlation and optimal ANN have a margin of deviation of 2 and 1%, respectively, and hence, the optimal artificial neural network is better in predicting the viscosity of hybrid nano-lubricant in comparison with empirical correlation.
