Fundamentals of Fluid Film Lubrication


Book Description

Specifically focusing on fluid film, hydrodynamic, and elastohydrodynamic lubrication, this edition studies the most important principles of fluid film lubrication for the correct design of bearings, gears, and rolling operations, and for the prevention of friction and wear in engineering designs. It explains various theories, procedures, and equations for improved solutions to machining challenges. Providing more than 1120 display equations and an introductory section in each chapter, Fundamentals of Fluid Film Lubrication, Second Edition facilitates the analysis of any machine element that uses fluid film lubrication and strengthens understanding of critical design concepts.













Effect of Metals on the Thermal and Oxidative Stability of Lubricants at Elevated Temperatures


Book Description

"Silicone, silane, and mineral oil lubraicating fluids were studied at 700 degrees F under inert and oxidizing atmospheres while in the presence of various individual metals. Physical and chemical changes in the fluids and metals were noted. Fluids studied were two (2) methyl chlorophenyl silicones, a methyl phenyl silicone, a hydrogentaed mineral oil and a silane. Metals used included magnesium, titanium, aluminum, silver, copper brass, bronze, monel steel, stainless steel, copper-beryllium steel, vanadium tool steel, chrome plated steel, cast iron and chrome-molybdenum steel. The siland fluid was the least affected fluid and was alsothe most compatible fluid with metals"--P. iii.
