  2. Friction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction

    Fluid friction describes the friction between layers of a viscous fluid that are moving relative to each other. [7] [8] Lubricated friction is a case of fluid friction where a lubricant fluid separates two solid surfaces. [9] [10] [11] Skin friction is a component of drag, the force resisting the motion of a fluid across the surface of a body.

  3. Frictional contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frictional_contact_mechanics

    Friction drive – Mechanical power transmission by friction between components; Lubrication – The presence of a material to reduce friction between two surfaces. Metallurgy – Field of science that studies the physical and chemical behavior of metals; Multibody system – Tool to study dynamic behavior of interconnected rigid or flexible bodies

  4. Helix angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helix_angle

    The efficiency can be plotted versus the helix angle for a constant friction, as shown in the adjacent diagram. The maximum efficiency is a helix angle between 40 and 45 degrees, however a reasonable efficiency is achieved above 15°. Due to difficulties in forming the thread, helix angle greater than 30° are rarely used.

  5. Inclined plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclined_plane

    The angle of friction, [7] also sometimes called the angle of repose, [8] is the maximum angle at which a load can rest motionless on an inclined plane due to friction without sliding down. This angle is equal to the arctangent of the coefficient of static friction μ s between the surfaces. [8]

  6. Fanno flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanno_flow

    This means that a subsonic flow entering a duct with friction will have an increase in its Mach number until the flow is choked. Conversely, the Mach number of a supersonic flow will decrease until the flow is choked. Each point on the Fanno line corresponds with a different Mach number, and the movement to choked flow is shown in the diagram.

    where is the applied tension on the line, is the resulting force exerted at the other side of the capstan, is the coefficient of friction between the rope and capstan materials, and is the total angle swept by all turns of the rope, measured in radians (i.e., with one full turn the angle =).
