Nanotribology of Symmetric and Asymmetric Liquid Lubricants
نویسنده
چکیده
When liquid molecules are confined in a narrow gap between smooth surfaces, their dynamic properties are completely different from those of the bulk. The molecular motions are highly restricted and the system exhibits solid-like responses when sheared slowly. This solidification behavior is very dependent on the molecular geometry (shape) of liquids because the solidification is induced by the packing of molecules into ordered structures in confinement. This paper reviews the measurements of confined structures and friction of symmetric and asymmetric liquid lubricants using the surface forces apparatus. The results show subtle and complex friction mechanisms at the molecular scale.

The present study investigates the use of different GE mixing rules in cubic equations of state for prediction of phase behavior of multicomponent hydrocarbon systems. To predict VLE data in multicomponent symmetric and asymmetric mixtures such as systems that contain light gases (nitrogen, carbon dioxide, etc.) and heavy hydrocarbons, the SRK equation of state has been combined with excess Gib...
متن کاملPVT Properties of Pure Lubricants Using Equations of State and Artificial Intelligence
Statistical mechanical and artificial intelligence models are developed to predict the volumetric properties of lubricants under different conditions. It is shown that the knowledge of just liquid density at room temperature is satisfactory to approximate the PVT properties of pure lubricants in various conditions. As well, the performance of an artificial neural network (ANN) based on back pro...
متن کاملExperimental Study of Discharge Coefficient of Symmetric and Asymmetric Rectangular Labyrinth Weirs
The discharge coefficient of labyrinth weirs increases with increasing the crest length in a certain width range. The present research was carried out in a laboratory flume with a length of 8 m, a width of 0.6 m, and a height of 0.6 m. The discharge coefficient of two-cycle symmetric and asymmetric rectangular labyrinth weirs was experimentally measured. The dimensional analysis by the Buckingh...
