Modeling of Chemical Wear: Relevance to Practice

Description

Modeling of Chemical Wear is a one-stop resource for students, researchers and professionals seeking quick and effective tribological evaluations of environmentally friendly and energy efficient products. This book considers optimizing additive combinations by proper methodology, bridging the gap between theory and practice. It defines effective approaches to evaluate antiwear chemical additives commonly used in industry, enhancing the mapping ability of their performance to reduce the extent of full scale evaluations. Provides full coverage of tribology in four concise chapters, including lubricants and additives and up-and-coming nano-level tribologyOffers effective empirical modelling of chemical wear, along with computer programs relevant to industry standards to help you improve your test methodsOutlines effective methodology for optimization of additive packages, relevant to the present search for eco-friendly combinations Content: 1. Tribology in perspective2. Lubricants and their formulation3. Dry wear mechanisms and modeling4. Boundary lubrication mechanisms and modeling5. Fundamental approaches to chemical wear modeling6. Statistics and experimental design in perspective7. Detailed methodology for chemical wear modeling8. Optimization methodology in additive selectionAnnexure
