Abstract

This paper reviews available literature on the tribological effects of lubricant contamination with biofuels and it presents preliminary work on the use of a pin-on-disk tribometer to measure friction and estimate wear and contact temperatures for mixtures of mineral oil and biofuels. The aim of this research work is to evaluate wear and friction behavior of engine liner and piston ring material contacts as part of a renewable energy multidisciplinary approach on biofuels and biolubes.
