Viscosity the most important physical property of a lubricating oil, as determines how easily the oil circulates and its load carrying capability. Maintaining the correct balance between low viscosity ...

Certain kinds of motor oils behave differently. Ideally, an engineer would prefer the oil viscosity to remain the same when the engine is hot as when it is cold. Motor oil includes additives developed ...

The term “Nanofluids” was first proposed by Choi of Argonne National Laboratory USA in 1995, which meant nanoparticle fluid suspensions. After which, this interdisciplinary field has developed ...

Researchers at Toyohashi University of Technology in Japan, in collaboration with the Institute of Translational Medicine and Biomedical Engineering (IMTIB) in Argentina and the Indian Institute of ...

Traditionally, to calculate the viscosity of a liquid or polymer melt based on molecular simulations on computers, people rely on a method called the Green–Kubo formalism. It works by tracking how ...

An international team of scientists has discovered how cancer cells exposed to high viscosity environments change the way they move to improve their invasiveness and favor metastases. The studies ...

This question is often best answered by example. Imagine a styrofoam cup with a hole in the bottom. If I then pour honey into the cup I will find that the cup drains very slowly. That is because honey ...

Technical molders know that turbulent cooling flow can improve cycle times and help the bottom line. But what factors can inhibit good cooling, and how can you improve your mold cooling results? Even ...

Given all the options for motor oil options out there, choosing the right oil for your car might seem like a daunting task. While there is a mountain of information about the various oil choices, the ...
