GRAPHITE AND HYBRID NANOMATERIALS AS LUBRICANT ADDITIVES

Graphite and Hybrid Nanomaterials as Lubricant Additives

Lubricant additives, based on inorganic nanoparticles coated with organic outer Knife Rack layer, can reduce wear and increase load-carrying capacity of base oil remarkably, indicating the great potential of hybrid nanoparticles as anti-wear and extreme-pressure additives with excellent levels of performance.The organic part in the hybrid materials

Instability and Evolution of Shocked Clouds Formed by Orthogonal Collisions between Magnetized Filamentary Molecular Clouds

Filamentary molecular clouds are recognized as primary sites for the formation of stars.Specifically, regions characterized by the overlapping point of multiple filaments, known as hub regions, are often associated with active star formation.However, the formation mechanism of this hub structure is not well understood.Therefore, to understand the f

Short Overview of Early Developments of the Hardy Cross Type Methods for Computation of Flow Distribution in Pipe Networks

Hardy Cross originally proposed a method for analysis of flow in networks of conduits or conductors in 1936.His method was the first really useful engineering method in the field of pipe network calculation.Only electrical analogs of hydraulic networks were used before the Hardy Cross method.A problem with flow resistance versus electrical resistan
