Sampling and analysis of lubricating oil is now becoming standard maintenance practice. Electric generating plants with inadequate maintenance programs will invariably be unable to compete in today’s ...

The ability to elucidate used oil analysis results is significant for taking decisions on planning maintenance activities. It is essential for marine engineers to understand the characteristics of the ...

Lubricants are substances available in solid, semi-solid, liquid, or gaseous states, and they play a crucial role in reducing friction and wear between moving surfaces. These substances are essential ...

Coolers are utilized on lubricating oil reservoirs of large rotating equipment to control viscosity and reject heat. Lube oil cooler performance is impacted by a number of plant-specific variables, ...

ABSTRACT In this study, a green process was developed to synthesize a novel molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) based friction modifier (FM) for improving fuel economy performance of lubricants. These new ...

A lubricant's composition involves a carefully balanced blend of various elements, including base oils and additives, which collectively influence its performance and longevity during operation.

Nanoparticles have long been utilized as additives in engine oil because they significantly improve the tribological qualities of lubricants and contact surfaces. They can also enhance the anti-wear ...

Bearings in precision equipment such as computer disk-drive spindles, laser scanners/printers, and gyroscopes, need excellent stiffness and damping qualities to run true at high speeds. Until recently ...
