Effect of fatty acid composition of methyl and ethyl esters on the lubricity at different humidities [PDF]

open access: yesFuel, 2016
Lubricity of individual fatty acid methyl or ethyl esters and biodiesel fuels has been measured using a high frequency reciprocating rig (HFRR). Tests have been carried out varying the ambient humidity to assess the effect of this parameter on the ...

Lubrication

2014
Saliva is capable of decreasing friction force by at least 2 orders of magnitude when in between hydrophobic surfaces. This ability to lubricate is key to oral health, food processing and taste perception. In this paper different mechanisms of saliva lubrication are reviewed, and their interconnection is demonstrated using a simple physical framework ...

Lubrication and Lubricants

2015
A reduction of friction between two sliding surfaces can be obtained by interposing a substance capable of reducing the shear stress, τm, necessary to allow the relative motion. This substance, which can be solid, liquid or gaseous, is called lubricant.

Joint Lubrication

Clinics in Rheumatic Diseases, 1981
The fine-pored, easily compressed articular cartilage provides animal joints with self-pressurized hydrostatic (weeping) lubrication. The solid skeletons of the cartilages press against each other, but so lightly that their rubbing is lubricated successfully by synovial fluid--a boundary lubricant too weak to lubricate ordinary bearings.

Lubricants and Lubrication

1995
In the gear units lubricants have a multiple function. First of all they are absolutely necessary to reduce the coefficient of friction between the elements that slide in relation to another. They also facilitates heat exchanges between equipment by carrying the heat produced by the friction whereas the dissipation of such forms of energy is easier and
