The text discusses the fundamentals of lubrication science and
technology linking the science concepts to engineering practices. It
further explores the performance characterization of lubrication
systems by utilizing sophisticated experiments and tests and motivates
the readers to develop their conclusions and reach solutions based on
modern tools and techniques. This book: Presents the principles of
surface and lubricant chemistry, and its implementation to devise
engineering solutions for various application-based systems. Discusses
viscosity index improvers, tribology of green lubricants, and
biolubricants from non-edible oils. Highlights 2D nanomaterials
lubricants, biogreases, hydrogel and lubricants for extreme
temperature and pressure conditions. Explains lubrication for
electrical, biomedical, automobile, marine, turbine and aerospace
applications. Covers design considerations, formulations, and
compositions of lubricants for high-temperature applications in
diverse areas. Explores the simulation, computational, and empirical
models to characterize, quantify and mitigate the adverse effects of
friction. It is primarily written for senior undergraduate and
graduate students, and academic researchers in the fields of
mechanical engineering, production engineering, industrial
engineering, aerospace engineering, and manufacturing engineering.
