Abstract

Minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) is a method where cutting fluid is supplied to the machining zone in the form of droplets (10–500 ml/h). The performance of MQL machining depends on the quality of spray generated by the MQL system. The spray quality is defined by droplet diameter, velocity and the number of droplets. In the present work, computer simulations were performed to study the characteristics of spray generated with internal mixing nozzle using three different types of cutting fluids, namely vegetable oil (VO), synthetic oil (SO) and mineral oil (MO). Effects of air pressure and mass flow rate of these cutting fluids on spray formation were also studied using ANSYS FLUENT. The results showed that with increase in air pressure and mass flow rate of cutting fluids, diameter of droplets decreased, whereas velocity and number of droplets increased. It was observed that not only the spray quality generated using vegetable oil is better than other two cutting fluids, but also the surface heat transfer coefficient (HTC) improved using vegetable oil. Surface heat transfer coefficient (HTC) using vegetable oil (VO) increased by 16.28% over synthetic oil (SO) and 32.16% over mineral oil (MO).
