Effective axle oils must efficiently transfer torque from the drive-train to the wheels, while maintaining low axle oil operating temperatures. Previous studies have shown that fluids, which form thicker elastohydrodynamic (EHD) films and have lower EHD friction, have higher torque transfer efficiencies (TE) and lower axle oil operating temperatures (OT). In general, oils with higher viscosities form thicker films and those with lower viscosities have lower EHD friction. Therefore, optimizing oil's rheological properties to maximize TE and minimize OT is difficult. In this paper, we examine two approaches to maintaining high TE while reducing OT. One approach is to minimize boundary friction since previous studies have shown that the boundary frictional properties of oils influence OT and not TE. A second approach is to more thoroughly examine the effect of rheology on film thickness and EHD friction. Film thickness and EHD friction are related to the high temperature high shear viscosity and pressure-viscosity coefficient of oils. We have found that oils with high pressureviscosity coefficients and low high temperature high shear viscosities will form thick films and have low EHD friction. This optimized combination of physical parameters, along with lowering the boundary friction coefficient of axle oils, results in oils with high TE and low OT.
ZusammenfassungDieses Buch versammelt Beiträge zur Beschreibung von Trends in der Religionslandschaft der Schweiz. Die vergleichende Betrachtung der Texte zeigt, dass sich die in den früheren Studien beschriebenen Trends in den letzten zehn Jahren weitgehend fortgeschrieben haben. Es ist zu einer weiteren Säkularisierung und religiösen Individualisierung gekommen. Die religiöse Praxis, der religiöse Glaube, die religiöse Zugehörigkeit, wie auch die Kirchenbindung haben weiter abgenommen, während die Rede von einer persönlichen Spiritualität zunimmt. Insofern zeigt unser Buch zunächst viel Bekanntes. Im Vergleich zu den früheren Studien zur Religionslandschaft der Schweiz sind jedoch auch neue Gesichtspunkte und Einsichten entstanden.
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.
