An Experimental Investigation of the Impact of Additive Concentration on the Tribological Performance of Castor Oil Lubrication in Piston Ring–Cylinder Liner Contact

This experimental study investigates the critical role and impact of additive concentration in enhancing the tribological performance of castor oil as a biolubricant for agricultural tractor engines. Friction and wear are major contributors to reduced engine efficiency, highlighting the need for eff...
