SURFACE WETTABILITY PATTERN AND SHAPE GRADIENT CO-INDUCED OIL DROPLET DIRECTIONAL TRANSPORT FOR ENHANCEMENT OF LUBRICATION PERFORMANCE

Surface wettability pattern and shape gradient co-induced oil droplet directional transport for enhancement of lubrication performance

Thermocapillary migration in lubrication systems is a phenomenon in which the lubricant migrates via the interfacial tension difference caused by the nonuniform temperature generated by the wear behavior, which leads to lubricant starvation and results in severe damage.This paper proposes a novel method to eliminate the thermocapillary migration ph

New records of rare marine fishes from the Gulf of Mannar, India

The Gulf of Mannar is a haven for rare species, which along with their pristine reef habitats are under constant threat from natural phenomena and anthropogenic activities.Therefore, the presently reported study aimed at documenting and inventorying rare benthic epi-faunal taxa from the region.We undertook 23 bottom trawl hauls at depths between 14
