The Multiple Criteria Assessment on the selected vegetable oils for the lubricating engine

Vegetable oils are considered to be an alternative and environmentally friendly resource of lubricants. Suitable for almost all industrial applications. They are obtained from natural raw materials, which are renewable and non-toxic to humans, living organisms, and the environment. Chemically, green oils are triacylglycerols with varying fatty acids compositions depending on the plant or seed, the crop, the growing conditions and the season, etc. The conducted research concerning matching the proper of type of vegetable oil to lubrication of the engine. The main objectives of engine oil have been drawn to the attention. To project of assessment has selected four roles of engine oil: lubrication, cooling, corrosion protection, and others (including oxidative stability, ash content, saponification value, and foam property). Each objective is described by a couple of detailed parameters of lubricants (for example viscosity index, coefficient of friction, wear scar diameter, pour point, cloud point, melting point, smoke point, flash point, iodine value, thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, density, water content, acid number, anti-corrosion properties, etc.). In the evaluation process, AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) methods were used to determine the weights of individual criteria. Everything creates multiple criteria assessment of green oil. As a result of the multi-criteria assessment, most high scores have soybean oil, linseed oil, cottonseed oil, and olive
