Active control of Lubricant Flow Using Dielectrophoresis and Its Effect on Friction Reduction
With the increasing demand for active friction control, we newly proposed to use dielectrophoresis to Feeders change the flow of PG-droplet-containing PAO4 to reduce the friction coefficient.The friction result with a 1-mm roller shows 20% reduction in friction coefficient (from 0.065 to 0.052) at AC 100 V, and in situ observation exhibits that PG
