Tribology for Energy Conservation [Hardcover]

The meeting addressed the topic of Tribology for Energy Conservation and attracted a wide range of stimulating papers and speakers. Some 150 delegates from nineteen countries attended and about sixty papers were presented in fifteen sessions. These covered the topics of lubricants, wear, friction reduction, hydrodynamics, elastohydrodynamic lubrication, surface roughness, manufacturing, component life (including condition monitoring), and automotive aspects.Session headings and selected papers: Keynote Address. A role for tribology in life cycle design (R. Clift). Invited Lectures. Fuel economy improvement by engine and gear oils (W.J. Bartz). Lubricants (1). Nano-rheology of polyisoprene solutions confined between two solid surfaces (S. Millot et al.). Wear.
