    Lubricants Notes

    The document discusses different types of lubricants including animal oils, vegetable oils, mineral oil, and synthetic lubricants. Mineral oil, derived from petrochemicals, is the most widely used type of lubricant in the automobile sector due to its greater chemical stability at higher temperatures, lower reactivity with water, abundance, and lower cost compared to other options. Good lubricants must meet basic requirements like maintaining the proper viscosity to allow hydrodynamic lubrication, resisting chemical changes over temperature variations, preventing corrosion, having a low pour point, remaining physically stable under different conditions, and having a high flash point to avoid vapor flashing.

    NOTES FOR LUBRICANTS

    Types of lubricants
    (a) Animal oils: These are generally obtained from animal fat. But they are not good lubricants because they are easily oxidized and become gummy after sometime of use. (b) Vegetables oils: These are generally obtained from vegetables like seeds, plants and trees etc. It has same problem like animal oil but has very good Lubricant proportion. (c) Mineral oil: It is generally derived from the petrochemical and it is most widely used in automobile sector because of following properties. (i) (ii) (iii) Greater chemical stability at higher temperature Less reactive with water. More plentiful and cheaper.

    (d) Synthetic lubricants: These are made from silicon fluids, polyglycol ethers and aliphatic diester.

    Basic requirements for Good lubricants


    There are following major requirement for good lubricants. (1) Viscosity: It should ensure, hydrodynamic lubrication action should take place. (ii) Chemical stability: It should be chemically stable under different temperature conditions. (iii) Resistance against corrosion: It should be good corrosion resistance agent. (iv)Pour point Pour point of the oil should be less so than lowest temperature occurred in the engine. (v) Physical stability: It should be able to stable under different condition of temperature. (vi) Flash point: It should be high to avoid flashing of oil vapours.
