The thermodynamic characteristics of the process of viscous flow of mineral base lubricating oils (SGK grade AU, naphthenic T-110) and synthetic (Synfluid PAO 6 cSt) were found. It was found that the activation energy and the change in the activation entropy of the viscous flow of mineral oils, considered trade marks, are higher than that of synthetic oil. The obtained thermodynamic data made it possible to establish the mechanism of the flow of lubricating oils.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
