INTRODUCTION
Lubricants are the substances that that are added to reduce friction between two surfaces [1].
Friction is simply defined as an opposing force which tends to come into action when one body is actually moving or even trying to move over the surface of the other [2]. It occurs due to the presence of certain asperities on the surface of a body. Friction can be divided into two main categories: TABLE 1: CLASSIFICATION OF FRICTION
STATIC FRICTION:
It is the opposing force which tends to come into action when one body is moving over the surface of other, without the actual motion being started [3].
LIMITING FRICTION:
It is the maximum opposing force which comes into action when a body is just about to move over

SOLID LUBRICANTS [9]
These are the lubricating systems that exist in solid states. These generally act as fillers, filling the asperities or the regularities of the surfaces inorder to make it smooth. These types of lubricants are generally used in the following cases:
• Where contamination due to dust and dirt particles has to be avoided.
• Where combustible lubricants cannot be used.
• Where the operating conditions are such that the liquid or semisolid lubricants do not remain in place due to high temperature, pressure etc.
The best examples of such lubricants are graphite, molybdenum disulphide, talc, soapstone, mica etc.
Graphite and molybdenum disulphide has a layered structure. The layers are held by Vander Waals forces of interaction. Graphite is non-inflammable and can be used up to a temperature range of 375degree Celsius, in the presence of air. While molybdenum disulphide is stable in air up to 400 degree Celsius.

Solid lubricants can be used both in the dry state and in the wet state, mixed with a solvent. If the solvent used is water, it is called as aqua dag which finds great applications in the packaging of food and other edible products as it prevents spoilage. But if the solvent used is oil, then the system is termed as oil dag which finds great use in the internal combustion
The University of Louisiana at Monroe has a diverse group of students, all of which are divided into different sub-cultures. Graduates are a group of students many people might define as responsible, mature, and even dedicated. They are slightly older than your average undergraduate student, and as a graduate assistant, many can be found in a professor’s class or office doing research. There are several types of graduate students with different cultural backgrounds. Focusing on the differences or similarities of the cultural dynamics between two graduates and how their upbringing prompted their academic choices.
Friction- Friction is the resistance of an object against a surface. (ex. Unexpectantly pressing on the brakes of your car) 6. Traction-
In this essay, I will attempt to inform you about some of the histories about square body dodge and Chevy trucks. Fist will talk about dodge square body trucks. Second will talk about chevy square body trucks. The last paragraph will be comparing and contrasting the two truck companies DODGEThe Dodge Ram is a full-size pickup truck marketed under the Ram Trucks brand and manufactured by Chrysler Group LLC. The name "Ram" was first used in 1981 during the launch of the redesigned Ram and Power Ram.
Huggies or Luv ’s I was walking through the baby section at Wal-mart and it brought back memories of the last two summers with my two year old twin niece Bailey and nephew Dakota. I keep Bailey and Dakota during the summer because they live two hours away and I don’t get to see them very often. Bailey and Dakota are hyper and very energetic.
Need To Repair Your Asphalt Driveway? How Resurfacing And Sealcoating Differ If your asphalt driveway is faded and showing its age, you may be wondering what you can do to bring it back to life. As long as the base under the driveway is still in good shape, you probably won 't need to tear out the old asphalt and install a new driveway. Depending on the degree of wear and tear, you can have a sealcoat applied or have the asphalt resurfaced.
What happens when James Bond convenes Ernest Hemingway and decides to intermix into the most interesting man in the world? The answer is the birth of the seemingly witty, charming, salt and pepper bearded Dos Equis leading man. Not only has the charismatic television commercials boosted the Dos Equis brand, I find myself anticipating new ad commercials in order to hear the elite superlatives Mr. Dos Equis has now conquered. Mr. Goldsmith, the leading actor in the commercials, is so revered that, one ad says, "if he were to pat you on your back, you would list it on your resume," (Shultz, 2012, p.1) while another ad pronounces “He gave his father ‘the talk’; “He once won a fist fight, only using his beard,” (Bommarito, 2012, p.1) and the lists go on and on with these hysterical narrative one-liners.
What Are Prohormones? Prohormones are precursors to hormones. They can amplify the effects of existing hormones. Prohormones are considered to be safer and milder than steroids. However, caution must be exercise when one is taking UK prohormones.
The most common helpful usage is in the automotive industry the octane levels are too high to be consumed, but enough to reduce heat and produce combustion inside an engine in a
It is said that this fuel is dirty as well as the process that it will take to get this oil. This process would be harmful to people, wildlife as well as the environment. It has been stated that this process will inevitably leak,
if you put a thin layer of petroleum jelly on a glass surface, small water droplets could stick with the greasy surface and would not descend under the force of gravity. Glycerine is totally miscible and does not have that kind of effect on water droplets. Both petroleum jelly and glycerine appear like a slimy material,
Some types include Dry Friction; which resists the motion of two solid surfaces. Fluid Friction; which
Forces and Newton II Elias Ghantous PHYS 151 – Section NQ Thursday 10:10am Hasbrouck Lab Room 214 October 13, 2017 Abstract In this experiment, I studied how forces cause an object to accelerate. I also studied the relationship between force vectors, mass and acceleration. Gathering of data took place through the use of a force table and a PAScar track system.
The crude oil is heated in a tall cylinder called fractionator for at least 350 degC. The process is based on the principle that different substances boil at different temperature. The cyclohexane content of naphtha fraction of crude oil can vary from 0.5 to 5.0 volume %. N-hexane, isohexanes, methyl cyclopentane, benzene and dimethyl pentanes have normal boiling points very close to cyclohexane.1 Advantages: 1. Uses a simple method of cyclohexane recovery. Disadvantages: 1.
The kerosene oil and fuel oil portion is fundamentally unaltered and utilized as fuel for the trucking and development industry. This portion can likewise be prepared into a forte's portion solvents utilized as a part of assembling
Bio-diesel production yields undesirable by-products for example methanol and glycerin. These by-products are removed so that the bio-diesel is suitable for use. Fractional distillation is used in the essential oil, flavor and fragrance industry. Raw essential oils are extracted from different plants such as mint, clove and tee tree for example. These raw oils contains impurities that have a bad flavour or odor.
