Lubricants are used to reduce friction and wear, whether it's in an aviation engine or the wheel bearing on a car. Other major functions of a lubricant include cleaning, cooling and sealing, in addition to helping fight corrosion and rust in the engine. Airplanes that are used infrequently especially need the corrosion and rust protection that good aviation lubricants can provide. Unused aircraft have a high potential for rust and corrosion, among other downtime problems. The more frequently and consistently an airplane is flown, the easier it is to properly maintain and lubricate. Click Here to Download PDF Sample Copy How do aviation lubricants keep an engine cool? Air-cooled aircraft engines rely on their oil for cooling far more than water-cooled automotive engines. Automotive oil typically accounts for about 40 percent of the engine's cooling capacity. In aviation engines, the oil must carry off a greater percentage of the engine's heat. Oil is a heat-transfer medium w...

There are many diamond alternatives that have come to market in recent years, and in some cases people could refer to these as “fake,” “synthetic,” or “simulated.” According to the Gemological Institute of America or GIA, lab made diamonds are also sometimes referred to as “man-made or synthetic diamonds.” Whereas simulated diamonds are stones that only look like diamonds, like cubic zirconia, white sapphire, moissanite, zircon, rutile, spinel, and synthetic garnet. A natural diamond is made from carbon and is the hardest natural known substance on earth. Natural diamonds are created over a period of one to three billion years, at least 85 miles below the earth’s mantle under natural conditions of very high pressure and high temperature. Once a diamond has been created in these underground conditions, it travels via molten rock to the earth’s surface, where it is mined, refined, and turned into beautiful jewelry or used for industrial purposes.

An increasing amount of waste is generated each year from textiles and their production. For economic and environmental reasons it is necessary that as much of this waste as possible is recycled instead of being disposed of in landfill sites. In reality the rate of textile recycling is still relatively low. On average, approximately ten million tones of textile waste is currently dumped in Europe and America each year. Considering the diversity of fibrous waste and structures, many technologies must work in concert in an integrated industry in order to increase the rate of recycling. Recycling in textiles shows how this can be achieved. The first part of the book introduces the subject by looking at the general issues involved and the technologies concerned. Part Two explores the chemical aspects of textile recycling. Part Three focuses on recycled textile products, including nonwovens and alternative fibres. Finally, the last part of the book discusses possible applications of recycle...

While fracking has produced cheap natural gas in the US, it has also increased competition for water, which is in short supply across many parts of the country. The process — injecting a high-pressure mix of water, sand and chemicals into rock formations to release natural gas — uses vast amounts of it. A single well can use between 65,000 gallons and 13 million gallons of freshwater. This has led to new regulations that focus on water conservation as well as an increased focus on treating and recycling fracking wastewater. Click Here to Know What are the New Technologies About half of the freshwater used in fracking is recovered as “flowback,” or water that flows back to the surface along with natural gas. The process also yields produced water, which contains massive amounts of brine. This wastewater mixture is difficult and expensive to treat, which is why it is typically injected deep underground. Regulations are limiting deep well injection of produced water, currently very common...
