In this work, we have studied the effect of titanium (lV) oxide (TiO2) nanoparticles dispersed in an engine lubricant oil on its rheological behavior. In order to prepare this nanofluid, mechanical stirrer and ultrasonic bath were used. The nanoparticles were characterized using SEM, TEM and dynamic...
