Lubricants perform as anti-friction media. They facilitate smooth operations, maintain reliable
machine functions, and reduce the risks of frequent failures. At present, the increasing prices …

Because of biodegradability and nontoxicity biodiesel has become more attractive as
alternative fuel. Biodiesel is produced mainly from vegetable oils by transesterification of …

Water-based lubricants (WBLs) have been at the forefront of recent research, due to the
abundant availability of water at a low cost. However, in metallic tribo-systems, WBLs often …

The use of inedible vegetable oils as an alternative fuel for diesel engine is accelerated by
the energy crisis due to depletion of resources and increased environmental problems …

In this work microwave assisted transesterification of cottonseed oil was carried out in the
presence of methanol and potassium hydroxide (KOH). Parametric studies were done to …

In recent years, biofuels have emerged as a suitable alternative to hydrocarbon fuel due to
their foreseen potential of being a future energy resource. Biofuel development initiatives …

Cottonseed oil-based biolubricant was synthesized by the TMP-based transesterification
process. 10–50% by volume blends of TMP-based cotton-biolubricant and SAE-40 were …

Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is the world's leading fiber crop and one of the most
important oilseed crops. Genetic improvement of cotton has primarily focused on fiber yield …

Sunflower (Helianthus annus L.)-oil cake pyrolysis experiments were achieved in a fixed-
bed tubular reactor. The effects of nitrogen flow rate and final pyrolysis temperature on the …

Cotton is one of the most important oil-producing crops and the cottonseed meal provides
important protein nutrients as animal feed. However, information on the genetic basis of …
