Lecture
Lubrication: Engineering Practice
Description
This lecture discusses lubrication as a primary engineering practice, emphasizing its role in energy dissipation. Approximately 23% of the world's energy consumption is attributed to friction and lubrication. The introduction of novel materials and technologies could reduce this energy consumption by 40% over the next 15 years, potentially impacting the world's GDP. The lecture delves into the significance of lubrication in reducing energy consumption and its economic implications.
