Studies were made of the effect of lubricating oils on the resistance of gasolines to compression.

The Heat of Adsorption of a Boundary Lubricant. E. P. Kingsbury. ASLE ?‘YUIZS.,~ (I) (1960) 30-33; 6 figs., 1 table, 4 refs. l’or the case of physical bonding, the heat of adsorption of a boundary lubricant on a bearing surface has been shown to determine frictional behaviour. The theory is here extended to include the effects of temperature and velocity on wear, and corresponding experimental results are presehtcd. The mathematical form of these dependcnties is discussed and a characteristic tern-

The interactions of five gases (helium. hydragcn, nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide) with mineral and synthetic lubricating oils were studietl. The interactions examined included gas solubility, foaming, entrainment. evaporation of oil into gas, stability of oil in presence of gas. and effect of dissolved gas on oil viscosity. Several of the gases showed Ixhavior (appreciably different from that of air) that was not predicted by cc>nventional theories. So important differences were found lwtwecn mineral and synthetic (diester) oils in these respects. The additives used can have appreciable influence on the foaming and entrainment characteristics. and evaporation rates, of both types of oils.

Effect of lubricant composition on cn:ine friction and connecting-rod bearing war. Special attention has been given to polymerthickened (VI improved) oils since these oils are characterized bl- shear-dependent viscosity and a simultaneous occurrence of viscous and elastic properties. The variables inlrc+ tigated in this study included lubricant visco&y, polymer typo, and concentration. Two sets of engine studies wcrc conductctl, one to determine engine friction, the othrr to measure connecting-rod bearing wear, using irradiated bearings. l;or Scwtonian fluids, the engine friction and wear rc.iponsa can be predicted from classical lubrication theory, I c.
