SAN ANTONIO — March 6, 2023 —A Southwest Research Institute team has developed a mechanical testing device to analyze fluids and lubricants formulated for electric vehicles. The team modified a ...

Fluid flow friction factors serve as a cornerstone in understanding and predicting the resistance encountered by fluids moving through conduits. These dimensionless parameters are essential in both ...

• Excessive seal friction wastes energy, accelerates wear, and can lead to premature failure. • Too little friction makes a seal prone to leak. • Pressure-activated hydraulic seals minimize both ...

Editor’s note: The Basics department this month is an excerpt from the ISA book Flow of Industrial Fluids – Theory and Equations by Raymond Mulley. Some material in this section may seem self-evident ...

The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) demands the development of specialized lubricants to meet their unique operating conditions. Unlike internal combustion engines, electric drivetrains feature ...
