Viscosity the most important physical property of a lubricating oil, as determines how easily the oil circulates and its load carrying capability. Maintaining the correct balance between low viscosity ...

To understand viscosity, laminar flow must be understood. This is when a gas or fluid flowing over a surface results in the molecules next to the surface having zero speed. As the distance from the ...

Choosing oil is more than viscosity. Matching API, ACEA, and OEM approvals protects engines, emissions systems, and peace of ...

The second car that I ever owned was a 2002 Chevy Silverado 2500 with a 6.6L Duramax diesel engine under the hood. It wasn't my first choice, but it was a hand-me-down from my father after my 1993 ...

Researchers have explained how the surface characteristics of microspheres affect rapid increases in the viscosity of suspensions, thus laying the groundwork for applications such as smoothly flowing ...

A physicist proposes that the universe is not empty space, but is a viscous fluid, fueling the expansion and contraction we see.

Oil is the lifeblood of your engine, regardless of whether you're behind the wheel of a Mitsubishi Mirage, Ferrari Roma, or Cummins-powered Ram truck. While every aspect of vehicle maintenance is ...

Millions of people worldwide are diagnosed with cancer every year. In advanced tumor diseases, cancer cells detach from the original tumor and settle in other parts of the body to form metastases. On ...
