Numerical investigation of the use of machinery low-viscosity working fluids as lubricants in elastohydrodynamic lubricated point contacts

This study proposes a numerical investigation of the potential use of machinery working fluids as lubricants in contacts operating under an elastohydrodynamic regime. These fluids are usually of very low viscosity and pressure–viscosity dependence. This is why, unmixed with oil, they have been of li...

description This study proposes a numerical investigation of the potential use of machinery working fluids as lubricants in contacts operating under an elastohydrodynamic regime. These fluids are usually of very low viscosity and pressure–viscosity dependence. This is why, unmixed with oil, they have been of little interest for the tribological community. Hence, their rheological properties are poorly known. In fact, these are restricted to a narrow range of conditions compared to the range of interest in EHL applications. This is why some measurements are carried out in order to determine both the viscosity and density of these uncommon lubricants. Besides, their viscosity being low, high-mean entrainment speeds are required for a sufficiently thick lubricant film to build up. This leads to an important thermal dissipation within the contact. Thermal effects are included in the analysis in order to make the estimation of film thicknesses and friction coefficients in these contacts as accurate as possible. Results are discussed in the light of the peculiar properties of machinery low-viscosity working fluids.
