  2. Thermodynamic databases for pure substances - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_databases...

    Most computerized databases will create a table of thermodynamic values using the values from the datafile. For MgCl 2 (c,l,g) at 1 atm pressure: Thermodynamic properties table for MgCl 2 (c,l,g), from the FREED datafile. Some values have truncated significant figures for display purposes. The table format is a common way to display ...

  4. Perfluoropolyether - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfluoropolyether

    Generally, PFPEs may be used as lubricant in all sorts of bearing, plug valves, gaskets, chains, and joint bearing applications, where oxygen inertness of a material is a requirement. [ 6 ] [ 8 ] Examples include aircraft fuel systems, mechanical components of devices used in airspace , deep space or high vacuum and at cryogenic temperatures.

  5. Lubricant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubricant

    Motor oil, a common 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.

    A new process to break down polyethylene, a common plastic product found in many consumer containers, converts it into a paraffin-like wax with the correct molecular properties for conversion into a lubricant, avoiding the expensive Fischer–Tropsch process. The plastic is melted and then pumped into a furnace.

  7. Grease (lubricant) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grease_(lubricant)

    A true grease consists of an oil or other fluid lubricant that is mixed with a thickener, typically a soap, to form a solid or semisolid. [1] Greases are usually shear-thinning or pseudo-plastic fluids, which means that the viscosity of the fluid is reduced under shear stress.

  8. Dry lubricant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_lubricant

    Dry lubricants or solid lubricants are materials that, despite being in the solid phase, are able to reduce friction between two surfaces sliding against each other without the need for a liquid oil medium. [1] The two main dry lubricants are graphite and molybdenum disulfide. They offer lubrication at temperatures higher than liquid and oil ...

  9. Silicone grease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone_grease

    Silicone grease is widely used as a temporary sealant and a lubricant for interconnecting ground glass joints, as is typically used in laboratory glassware.Although silicones are normally assumed to be chemically inert, several historically significant compounds have resulted from unintended reactions with silicones.
