Publisher DOI: | 10.3390/lubricants6010007 | Title: | Application of a thermodynamic concept for the analysis of structural degradation of soap thickened lubricating greases | Language: | English | Authors: | Kuhn, Erik | Keywords: | Entropy production; Liquid friction; Lubricating greases; Structural degradation | Issue Date: | 11-Jan-2018 | Publisher: | MDPI | Journal or Series Name: | Lubricants : open access journal | Volume: | 6 | Issue: | 1 | Abstract: | Lubricating greases are special lubricants with a wide range of application. The tribologically stressed grease is used as tribological system and finally modeled as an open thermodynamic system. This study investigated the phenomenon of self-optimization and applied to the process of shearing a grease. The conditions for self-optimization and the consequences of created dissipative structures are investigated according to the interpreted literature. |
