  2. Hand washing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_washing

    A study in 2020 found that hand dryers and paper towels were both found to be equally hygienic hand-drying solutions. [69] However, there is some debate over the most effective form of drying in public toilets. A growing volume of research suggests paper towels are much more hygienic than the electric hand dryers found in many public toilets. A ...

  3. 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.

  4. Friction modifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction_modifier

    Friction modifiers are added to lubricants in order to reduce friction and wear in machine components. They are particularly important in the boundary lubrication regime, where they can prevent solid surfaces from coming into direct contact, substantially reducing friction and wear .

  5. Fretting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fretting

    The fundamental way to prevent fretting is to design for no relative motion of the surfaces at the contact. Surface roughness plays an important role as fretting normally occurs by the contact of the asperities of the mating surfaces. Lubricants are often employed to mitigate fretting because they reduce friction and inhibit

    Are you over it? I'm over it. I'm fine. At least, at times I think that. It's obviously not what I wanted but that's life. I'm not going to lie. It been an adjustment, but the world continues to spin.

  7. Lubricant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubricant

    A lubricant (sometimes shortened to lube) is a substance that helps to reduce friction between surfaces in mutual contact, which ultimately reduces the heat generated when the surfaces move. It may also have the function of transmitting forces, transporting foreign particles, or heating or cooling the surfaces.
