Certain kinds of motor oils behave differently. Ideally, an engineer would prefer the oil viscosity to remain the same when the engine is hot as when it is cold. Motor oil includes additives developed ...

Researchers at Toyohashi University of Technology in Japan, in collaboration with the Institute of Translational Medicine and Biomedical Engineering (IMTIB) in Argentina and the Indian Institute of ...

Fluid dynamics is the branch of physics concerning fluid flow. It is distinguishable from other disciplines in fluid mechanics as it deals with fluids in motion. In physics, a fluid is a substance ...

THE abnormally high heat conductivity of helium II below the λ-point, as first observed by Keesom, suggested to me the possibility of an explanation in terms of convection currents. This explanation ...

As General Motors prepares to launch its Gen 6 Small Block V8 engine family in conjunction with its next-gen light-duty pickup trucks, GM Authority has been bust serving up a variety of critical ...

The term “Nanofluids” was first proposed by Choi of Argonne National Laboratory USA in 1995, which meant nanoparticle fluid suspensions. After which, this interdisciplinary field has developed ...

Traditionally, to calculate the viscosity of a liquid or polymer melt based on molecular simulations on computers, people rely on a method called the Green–Kubo formalism. It works by tracking how ...

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 ...

You could save as much as 1 percent on your fuel economy simply by switching from a 15W-40 engine oil to a 10W-30 engine oil, according to new research from Chevron Oronite. A research paper, titled ...

New research findings show how higher viscosity, or resistance to flow, of the extracellular fluid that surrounds cells enables cancer cells to migrate more rapidly from a primary tumor to other sites ...

Given all the options for motor oil options out there, choosing the right oil for your car might seem like a daunting task. While there is a mountain of information about the various oil choices, the ...
