The difference is that hydrodynamic lubrication requires the motion of the moving parts that are to be lubricated to pump the actual lubricant. Electrohydrodynamic lubrication involves electrically charged lubricants.

In Motor oil is used as a lubricant and replaces sliding friction to create which type of friction?

Motor oil is used as a lubricant to reduce sliding friction and create a layer of fluid friction, known as hydrodynamic or fluid film lubrication, between moving parts. This helps to reduce wear and heat generated by friction in the engine.


Is friction increased by lubrication?

No, friction is actually decreased by lubrication. Lubrication helps to reduce the resistance between surfaces in contact, allowing them to slide past each other more easily, thereby reducing friction.


The use of oil or grease to lessen friction is called?

The use of oil or grease to lessen friction is called lubrication. Lubrication helps to reduce friction between two surfaces in contact, allowing for smoother movement and improved efficiency.


Lubrication prevents damage from heat and friction and keeps the moving parts operating efficiently?

Yes, lubrication creates a protective barrier between moving parts to reduce friction and heat, preventing wear and damage. Proper lubrication ensures smooth operation and longevity of machinery and equipment.


Difference between hydrostatic bearing and hydrodynamic bearing?

Hydrostatic 1)For pressurized supply of fluid an external pressure supply is used 2) speed is less 3)Design of bearing house is complicated 4)Initial cost is high 5) Load carrying capacity is high 6) It can be used as air bearings. hydrodynamic 1) Pressure for fluid supply is produced by relative moving motion of the parts 2) The cost is less 3)Design of bearing house is less complicated 4) speed is high 5) Load carrying capacity is less 6) Cannot be used as air bearings.

What is the difference between splash lubrication and pressurized lubrication?

Splash lubrication like in small engines uses a dipper connected to the crank that " dips " into the oil on the down stroke and " splashes " it up and onto the engine parts on the upstroke. Pressurized lubrication uses a pump to push the oil through passages to the needed areas.

How jacking oil pump works in a turbine?

A jacking oil pump is used in turbine applications to provide lubrication and cooling to the bearings during startup and shutdown. It operates by delivering oil at a low flow rate to create a hydrodynamic film between the rotating shaft and the bearings, preventing metal-to-metal contact and reducing wear. Once the turbine reaches operational speed, the main lubrication system takes over, allowing the jacking oil pump to shut down. This process is crucial for ensuring the longevity and reliability of the turbine components.


What is the different between dexron iii at and sp iii at if you replace sp iii to dexron iii at will there be any problem with your gearbox?

The major difference between SP iii and Dexron iii is the lubrication modifier. SP iii contains more lubrication qualities than Dexron iii. You can interchange the two but run a slight chance of premature wear using Dexron iii where SP iii is indicated.
