fluid film lubrication
1fluid film lubrication — A type of lubrication in which the surfaces to be lubricated are separated by a substantial quantity of oil. The oil has the effect of keeping the two surfaces apart. Also called hydrodynamic lubrication …
2Lubrication — is the process, or technique employed to reduce wear of one or both surfaces in close proximity, and moving relative to each another, by interposing a substance called lubricant between the surfaces to carry or to help carry the load (pressure… …
3lubrication — See lubricate. * * * Introduction of any of various substances between sliding surfaces to reduce wear and friction. Lubricants may secondarily control corrosion, regulate temperature, electrically insulate, remove contaminants, or damp shock.… …
4Fluid bearing — Fluid bearings are bearings which solely support the bearing s loads on a thin layer of liquid or gas.They can be broadly classified as fluid dynamic bearings, hydrostatic or gas bearings. They are frequently used in high load, high speed or high …
5Lubrication theory — A branch of fluid dynamics, lubrication theory is used to describe the flow of fluids (liquids or gases) in a geometry in which one dimension is significantly smaller than the others.Interior flows are those where the boundaries of the fluid… …
6Hydrodynamic lubrication — Hydrodynamic (HD) lubrication (or fluid film lubrication) has essential elements:#A lubricant, which must be a viscous fluid. #Hydrodynamic flow behavior of fluid between bearing and journal. #The surfaces between which the fluid films move must… …
7Boundary lubrication — Brief description of lubricationLubrication is the process, or technique employed to reduce wear of one or both surfaces in relative motion to one another by interposing a substance called lubricant between the surfaces to carry or to help carry… …
8hydrodynamic lubrication system — A type of lubrication system in which the surfaces to be lubricated are separated by a substantial quantity of oil. The oil has the effect of keeping the two surfaces apart. Also called fluid film lubrication. Hydrometer measuring density of a… …
9Cutting fluid — Thin wall milling of aluminum using a water based cutting fluid on the milling cutter. Cutting fluid is a type of coolant and lubricant designed specifically for metalworking and machining processes. There are various kinds of cutting fluids,… …
10Tribology — is the science and engineering of interacting surfaces in relative motion. It includes the study and application of the principles of friction, lubrication and wear. Tribology is a branch of mechanical engineering. Contents 1 Fundamentals 1.1… …
