Questions and Answers

What are the functions of lubricants?

Functions of lubricants include reducing frictional resistance, minimizing wear and tear on moving parts, and dissipating heat.

What are the mechanisms of lubrication?

The mechanisms of lubrication include thick film, thin film, and extreme pressure lubrication.

What are the classifications of lubricants?

Lubricants can be classified as solid lubricants (such as graphite and molybdenum disulphide), semi-solid lubricants (greases), and liquid lubricants (such as animal/vegetable oil and blended oils).

What are some properties of lubricants?

Properties of lubricants include viscosity, viscosity index, flash and fire point, cloud and pour point, acid value, and saponification value. Signup and view all the answers

How do lubricants minimize the ill effects of frictional resistance?

Lubricants minimize the ill effects of frictional resistance by forming a thin layer between moving or sliding parts, reducing wear and tear, and dissipating energy in the form of heat. Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Functions of Lubricants

Reduce friction between two surfaces in contact
Prevent wear and tear on machinery
Reduce heat generation
Prevent corrosion and rust
Improve efficiency of machinery
Reduce energy consumption

Mechanisms of Lubrication

Hydrodynamic lubrication: formation of a thin film of lubricant between two surfaces
Elastohydrodynamic lubrication: combines hydrodynamic and elastic properties of lubricant
Boundary lubrication: lubricant forms a thin film on the surface of metals

Classifications of Lubricants

Mineral-based lubricants: derived from petroleum products
Synthetic lubricants: man-made chemical compounds
Bio-based lubricants: derived from animal or plant sources

Properties of Lubricants

Viscosity: measures resistance to flow
Density: mass per unit volume
Flash point: temperature at which lubricant ignites
Pour point: temperature at which lubricant becomes semi-solid

Minimizing Frictional Resistance

Reduce frictional force between two surfaces
Reduce heat generation
Increase efficiency of machinery
Reduce energy consumption
Prevent wear and tear on machinery
