The book covers different aspects of lubricant technology such as lubricant chemistry, formulation, categories, and eco-friendliness with emphasis on recent advances in lubricants for sustainability. It discusses onsite oil analysis methods, identifying the root cause of machine failure using various oil analysis tests, and oil sampling.
In the rapidly evolving world of mechanical systems, lubricants play a critical role in minimizing friction, reducing wear, and improving energy efficiency. Lubricant Technology: Fundamentals and Applications delves into the multifaceted science of lubrication, bridging the gap between foundational principles and cutting-edge innovations.Authored by leading experts, this comprehensive volume explores: The fundamentals of friction, wear, and lubrication. The chemistry and properties of base oils and advanced lubricants. Revolutionary bio-lubricants, nanolubricants, and ionic liquid additives. Emerging trends such as superlubricity and smart lubricants. Sustainable practices in used oil disposal and future industry directions. With detailed studies, practical insights, and research-backed discussions, this book is an indispensable resource for senior undergraduate, graduate students, and academic researchers in fields including mechanical engineering, industrial and production engineering, manufacturing engineering, and materials science.Whether you're exploring the basics of lubricant formulation or investigating advanced applications, Lubricant Technology: Fundamentals and Applications provides the knowledge you need to drive innovation and sustainability in lubrication science.
About the Author: Upendra Maurya completed his Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2012 from the University of Mumbai, India, and an M.Tech in Industrial Tribology and Maintenance Management from the National Institute of Technology Srinagar, India, in 2016. During his Master's Program, he worked as a visiting researcher at the CSIR-Indian Institute of Petroleum, Dehradun, India, studying the influence of molecular chain length on lubricant properties. He earned his Ph.D. from the National Institute of Technology Warangal (NITW), India, specializing in the development of hybrid nanolubricants using ionic liquids and nanoparticles. He is currently an Assistant Professor at Mechanical Engineering Department, Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering, Pune, India. With over 12 publications in reputed international journals, his research focuses on the synthesis of ionic liquids, surface characterization techniques, and advanced lubricant formulations. His work has led to novel insights into the tribological performance of hybrid nano-oils and their industrial applications.Gourav Khajuria is working in the Mechanical Engineering Department, Government College of Engineering and Technology, Jammu, Jammu and Kashmir, India. He completed his Bachelor of Technology (Mechanical Engineering) from Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University, Katra, Jammu, and his Master of Technology (Industrial Tribology and Maintenance Management) from the National Institute of Technology, Srinagar (Hazratbal, Kashmir), India. His research focuses on Tribological and Surface interactions of materials in the application of the Automobile Industry. He worked on the Super Alloys materials at high temperatures to investigate tribological behaviour of worn surfaces and mechanism of development in-situ tribo-films under dry conditions. He has over 5 research work published in various international reputed journals. V. Vasu is a Professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Institute of Technology Warangal India. He obtained his Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering in 1999 from Nagarjuna University, India, and a post-graduation in Manufacturing Engineering from Birla Institute of Technology & Science, Pilani, India in 2003. He obtained his Ph.D. from Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad, India in 2010 and his doctoral dissertation explored eco-friendly nanolubricants as cutting fluid. He was awarded Heritage- Erasmus Mundus research fellowship in 2013 to visit Politecnico di Milano, Italy as a post-doctoral associate where he studied Wear & Tribological Studies of Aluminium composites. He has published over 40 papers in refereed journals and refereed conference proceedings. He has research interests in the areas of Tribology, Nanomaterials, Nanofluids, Micro-Nano Machining Mechatronics, and systems controls. He has completed several research projects funded by various agencies such as DST, SERB, NRCM, ISC Bangalore, UGC, IIT Bombay, IE India and is currently handling the SERB project on "Synergistic Effect of Phosphonium, Ammonium Based Ionic Liquid and Nano Lubricants on the Tribological and Rheological Properties." (Rs.17.64 Lakhs). He is the coordinator of "Smart factory: Industry 4.0 Lab, Seimens center of Excellence" NIT Warangal Project cost of 200 Lakhs. He was conferred the "Outstanding Scientist Award 2015" in Nanotechnology by Venus International Foundation and the "Young Engineer Award 2010", from the Institute of Engineers, India.
