Hi all,
I'm looking for the thermophysical and transport properties(density, specific heat, thermal conductivity, cinematic or dynamic viscosity, surface tension, etc.) of lubricants as cooling/heating media.
This subject seems never taken into account by all the forums in the past.
I'd found out something on:
a) Neale's Tribology Handbook, but he points out - except the viscosity - generic/average values (Btw: we know that all properties are strongly sensitive to the temperature);
b) Rosenhow-Hartnett's, Handbook, Kays-Crawford's textbook Convective Heat and Mass Transfer, and others ref. books, but all of them list the properties for generic mineral oils.
Do you know any other reference handbooks/textbooks or web sites (or lubricants producers) where reliable thermophysical and transport data on lubricants are shown?
Thanks very much in advance for the help.
