Muhammad Akmal Saiful Bahri

Diligently advancing at Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah as a Research Assistant, I honed my data collection and teamwork skills, significantly contributing to project efficiencies and fostering a collaborative environment. My tenure at Maju Edar Teknik Sdn Bhd further enriched my ability to apply research and analytical skills in industry-specific contexts, demonstrating a proven track record of achievement and growth.

• Evaluated the stability of Ti𝑂2-Si𝑂2/PVE nanolubricants at different composition ratios using visual sedimentation and Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy method for application in residential air conditioning system.

• Enhanced the understanding and chose the selected nanolubricant composition ratios that will be used in the experiment based on their stability evaluation to be compared with pure PVE lubricant.

• Conducted comprehensive literature reviews and experimental studies to analyse refrigerant effects, cooling capacity, coefficient of performance (COP) and power consumption of nanolubricant.

• Result: The Ti𝑂2-Si𝑂2/PVE nanolubricants with (20:80, 50:50, 80:20) composition ratios at 0.0043% volume concentration showed good stability results from visual and UV-Vis evaluation. The effect of hybrid nanolubricants towards the performance of RAC system produced positive impacts as it reduced the compressor work and power consumption, while increasing the refrigerant mass flow rate and cooling capacity compared to pure PVE lubricant. Nanolubricants also increased the COP by a larger margin compared to pure PVE lubricant.
