The metalworking fluids applied in machining processes basically have three characteristics. They are: Cooling effect Lubrication effect Taking away the formed chip from the cutting zone. Selecting a metalworking fluid for a particular application and…

Various functions of cutting fluids are Cutting fluid cools the workpiece and tool by carrying away the heat generated during machining. It acts as a lubricant at the friction zones, thereby increasing tool life. As friction gets reduced, the forces and electrici…

Comparison of solids, liquids and gases (fluids) can be done in aspects like macroscopic description, mobility of molecules, density, molecular spacing, effect of shear stress, effect of normal stress, viscosity and compressibility is represented below in tabular form…

Understanding the properties of fluids is essential to Analyse their behavior in working conditions. In this article the fluid properties namely mass density, specific weight, specific volume, specific gravity, viscosity, vapor pressure, compressibility and surface te…
