Abstract

The investigation of lubricated friction is an extended study. This investigation is about to study coefficient of friction (COF) based on pure bio-lubricant with banana peel (BP) as additive. The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of temperature and load on coefficient friction of bio-lubricant. There are have four type of bio-lubricant which is classified with 100% new palm oil, 95% new palm oil + 5% banana peel, 80% new palm oil + 20% banana peel and last sample is 50% new palm oil + 50% banana peel. This investigation conducted by using Four Ball Tester (TR-30L) and each bio-lubricant was conducted by using three different temperatures (27°C, 80°C and 100°C) and three different loads (60N, 250N, and SOON). The coefficient of friction shows how the lubricant prevents contact each ball bearing due the less friction produces the highest quality of biolubricant. As a result, new palm oil + 20% banana peel as additive in palm oil showed the good lubricant at load 60N on temperature 80°C which is 0.00597 prove the lowest coefficient of friction compare with others bio-lubricant result in term of improving the performance on bio-lubricant.
