  2. Lubrication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubrication

    As the load increases on the contacting surfaces, distinct situations can be observed with respect to the mode of lubrication, which are called lubrication regimes: [1] Fluid film lubrication is the lubrication regime in which, through viscous forces, the load is fully supported by the lubricant within the space or gap between the parts in ...

  3. Lubrication theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubrication_theory

    Here a key goal of lubrication theory is to determine the pressure distribution in the fluid volume, and hence the forces on the bearing components. The working fluid in this case is often termed a lubricant. Free film lubrication theory is concerned with the case in which one of the surfaces containing the fluid is a free surface. In that case ...

  4. 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.

  5. Tribology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribology

    Tribology is the science and engineering of understanding friction, lubrication and wear phenomena for interacting surfaces in relative motion.It is highly interdisciplinary, drawing on many academic fields, including physics, chemistry, materials science, mathematics, biology and engineering. [1]

  6. Dry lubricant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_lubricant

    Graphite is best suited for lubrication in air. Water vapor is a necessary component for graphite lubrication. The adsorption of water reduces the bonding energy between the hexagonal planes of the graphite to a lower level than the adhesion energy between a substrate and the graphite. Because water vapor is a requirement for lubrication ...

  7. Fluid bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_bearing

    The usage of the bearing has three major advantages: (i) pumped water going through the bearing is conveniently used as a lubricant, which reduces pump operation cost; (ii) water flow takes away heat and fine particles through the bearing grooves; and (iii) the natural resilience of rubber gives the bearing good properties for shock and ...

    Coconut oil aids with coating the vaginal tissue to reduce water loss, while soothing and hydrating the vagina. “It can help vaginal dryness, alleviate friction during sex, and minimize tears ...

  9. Grease (lubricant) - Wikipedia

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

    H1 lubricants are food-grade lubricants used in food-processing environments where there is the possibility of incidental food contact. H2 lubricants are industrial lubricants used on equipment and machine parts in locations with no possibility of contact. H3 lubricants are food-grade lubricants, typically edible oils, used to prevent rust on ...
