Lubricated, model for

To conclude this subsection, we expose an interesting paradox arising from the time dependence of the particle configuration. As discussed in Section III, Frankel and Acrivos (1967) developed a time-independent lubrication model for treating concentrated suspensions. Their result, given by Eq. (3.7), predicts singular behavior of the shear viscosity in the maximum concentration limit where the spheres touch. Within the spatially periodic framework, the instantaneous macroscopic stress tensor may be calculated for the lubrication limit, e - 0. The symmetric portion of its deviatoric component takes the form (Zuzovsky et al, 1983)...

The mechanisms for the reaction of sulfur with alkanes and unsaturated compounds are highly speculative, being strongly influenced by the specific stmcture of the substrate and by the conditions (particularly temperature) of reaction. Alkane (4), olefin (5), animal fat (6), and vegetable oil (7) sulfurization have been extensively studied because these reactions are models for vulcanization. Moreover, the products are used as lubricant additives.

In lubrication history, research has been mainly focused for a long period on two fields—fluid lubrication and boundary lubrication. In boundary lubrication (BL), lubrication models proposed by Bowdeon and Tabor [5], Adamson [6],... 

The system used in the simulations usually consists of solid walls and lubricant molecules, but the specific arrangement of the system depends on the problem under investigation. In early studies, hard spherical molecules, interacting with each other through the Lennard-Jones (L-J) potential, were adopted to model the lubricant [27], but recently we tend to take more realistic models for describing the lubricant molecules. The alkane molecules with flexible linear chains [28,29] and bead-spring chains [7,30] are the examples for the most commonly used molecular architectures. The inter- and intra-molecular potentials, as well as the interactions between the lubricant molecule and solid wall, have to be properly defined in order to get reliable results. Readers who intend to learn more about the specific techniques of the simulations are referred to Refs. [27-29]. 

The statistic models consider surface roughness as a stochastic process, and concern the averaged or statistic behavior of lubrication and contact. For instance, the average flow model, proposed by Patir and Cheng [2], combined with the Greenwood and Williamsons statistic model of asperity contact [3] has been one of widely accepted models for mixed lubrication in early times. 

As the statistical models for rough surface lubrication and contact are established, a mixed lubrication model can be thus constructed in the following procedure. 

A common feature in the models reviewed above was to calculate pressure and temperature distributions in a sequential procedure so that the interactions between temperature and other variables were ignored. It is therefore desirable to develop a numerical model that couples the solutions of pressure and temperature. The absence of such a model is mainly due to the excessive work required by the coupling computations and the difficulties in handling the numerical convergence problem. Wang et al. [27] combined the isothermal model proposed by Hu and Zhu [16,17] with the method proposed by Lai et al. for thermal analysis and presented a transient thermal mixed lubrication model. Pressure and temperature distributions are solved iteratively in a iterative loop so that the interactions between pressure and temperature can be examined. 

When the plane moves at 0.1 mm/s and under a normal load of 38.29 N, the numerical mixed lubrication model yields the solutions of film thickness and pressure distribution shown in Fig. 11 where the profiles are taken along the central lines in the x and y directions, respectively. Corresponding results from dry contact analyses are given in the same hgure for comparison. Excellent agreements observed...

Lubricants. A model for the lubrication mechanism has been developed lliat explains synergy between certain lubricants. Tins model neats lubricants as surface-active agents. Some lubricants have polar ends that arc attracted to other polar ends and to polar PVC flow units and to polar metal surfaces. These also have nonpolar ends that are repelled by the polar groups. Synergy happens when nonpolar Lubricants are added, which are attracted to the nonpolar ends and act as a slip layer.
