Laws Of Friction


Law Of Friction:

(i)                Anonton’s First Law:-    According to this Law, the friction between two solids is independent of the area of contact.  For example  a Bricks slides over a flat surface than the friction will be same whether it is sliding on its end or its side or its base, because the actual area of contact is always smaller than the apparent area.

(ii)             Anonton’s Second Law:-  According to this Law, the friction force is proportional to the load exerted by one surface over the another . For example- If a brick is placed on the Top of the another brick the friction will be doubled and the another brick is placed on the second brick, than the friction will get trebled and so on.

                         f α w            

                   f= Kw                K or µ= coefficient of friction

            µ or K= f/w         f= friction, w=weight(load)

Derivation of the Phase Rule

Derivation of the Phase Rule:                                        According to this rule, for any equilibrium thermodynamic system, the sum of the number of degrees of freedom(F) and the number of phases(P) are equal to the sum of number of independent component ‘C’ and the number of external factors n(T and P) affecting the physical state of the system.            F+P=C+n   Or ,     F+P= C+2        where ( n=2 )   Or ,    F= C-P+2    (Gibbs phase rule) Let us consider a heterogeneous system in equilibrium having C components (C 1 ,C 2 ,----C c ) distributed in P phase (P 1 , P 2 , ----P p ). The number of degree of freedom = Total number of variables   - ...

Properties of Lubricants

Properties of Lubricants:- Lubricants have several properties, some important properties are given below:- 1.       Viscosity:                              It is the property of a liquid or a fluid by virtue of which it offers resistance to its own flow. If two layers of a liquid separated by a distance’s and moving with a relative velocity difference ‘v’ then force per unit area(f) required to maintain this velocity difference is given by-                                                 f=nv/d Where n is the coefficient of viscosity. Viscosity is the most important property of ...

Additives For Lubricants

Additives For Lubricants There are lack of properties of single lubricating oil so the properties of lubricants may be improved by adding some specific suitable compounds, such type of compounds which are used to improve the properties of lubricants are known as additives for lubricants. Some important additives are listed below. (i)                  Extreme pressure additives:   These additives either get absorbed on the metal surface or react with the metal to form a layer having low shear strength on the metal surface and prevent wearing and tearing. They also protect them from welding and seizure under extreme pressure conditions. For example fatty ester, acids, organic chlorine compounds, metallic soaps etc. (ii)                Viscosity Index improves: The prevent the oil from thickening at low temperature and thin ...
