M. Husnawan, H.H. Masjuki, T.M.I. Mahlia

The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of palm olein, amine phosphate and 4‐nonyl phenoxy acetic acid (NPAA) added to a commercial lubricant in terms of tribological…

Oil film hydrodynamic load capacity of hydro‐viscous drive with variable viscosity

Fangwei Xie, Youfu Hou

The purpose of this paper is to reveal the characteristics of hydrodynamic load capacity and torque transferred by oil film with variable viscosity, and the effect of groove…

The tribological behaviour of a novel triazine derivative and its combination with ZDDP as additive in mineral oil

Lulu Peng, Jianchang Li, Tianhui Ren, Hua Wu, Chenyan Ma

The purpose of the research was to test whether the novel synthesized additive TEAT can be a substitution for the traditional additive ZDDP partly or entirely in mineral oil.
