A Comparative Study of Conventional and Hybrid Nanofluids Performance in Machining Processes

This research provides an extensive review of the use of conventional and hybrid nanofluids in various machining processes. Due to their enhanced thermal characteristics, nanofluids, which consist of colloidal suspensions of nanoparticles in a base fluid, have become an increasingly popular field of study. These features make nanofluids an excellent alternative for cooling and lubricating during machining operations, improving both the efficiency and quality of the machined components. The paper compares conventional and hybrid nanofluid performance in several machining processes, examines their environmental and economic consequences, and highlights research gaps and future direction. Despite nanofluids' promising performance, various problems and constraints remain, including the stability of the nanoparticle dispersion, possible health and environmental hazards, and the high costs of nanofluid production. The study discovers that overcoming these problems via thorough and comparative investigations, as well as a greater knowledge of the mechanisms behind nanofluids' performance in machining, would be critical to achieving their full potential.
