Non petroleum lubricants : Abstract : The basic purpose of machine is to get useful work at minimum losses , losses in machines are frictional losses and to overcome frictional losses in parts moving (rotating, sliding) relative to one another substances (compounds) are used called lubricants. Due to non-availability of conventional petroleum lubricants they are replaced by their non-petroleum alternatives. This investigation summarizes most commonly used non-petroleum lubricants.

Two types of ski wax are used : glide wax to minimize kinetic friction and grip wax to minimize static friction. The appropriate amount of these two types of waxes is dictated by factors including snow crystal type and size , moisture content on snow surface (which is a function of temperature e.t.c).
Synthetic lubricants : Artificially made lubricants fall in this category and are made up of modified petroleum compounds or other raw materials. Their major classifications are synthetic hydrocarbons (polyalphaolifens , alkylated aromatics ) and esters ( di-esters, polyol esters) . Synthetics can be used at temperature extremes both high and low, and can capable of providing films with greater strength and lubricity. Various motor and engine oil fall in this category ( shell helix ultra 5w-40, total quartz 9000).
Krytox : it is example of synthetic oil with temperature range 75 – 350 0C or higher ,it can also withstand high pressure and ionization. It is used in aerospace( critical component in high face vacuum ,temperature extremes and oxygen systems including values, pumps, seals) , automotives (reduces noise like squeak and rattle) and nuclear
Whether zipping along a winding trail, flying through the open flats, or powering up a steep hill, snow machines and the rider need to use physics to stay in control of the machine and themselves. The main components are the track, engine, skis and riding. Snowmachine tracks are essential to making a snowmachine move. Ever since snow machines first originated in the late 50's, designers have been finding ways to improve traction in a variety of conditions. Some of these conditions are driving on groomed trails, not groomed trails, overflow, and deep snow.
In order to reduce the frictional forces which would slow them down, skiers wax the bottom of their skis. The types of wax which they apply to their skis have different functions. The hot wax which is applied to the entire ski reduces the friction between the ski and the snow. This allows the ski to glide on the snow and gives the skier more distance for each stride.
The olefins are also important for petrochemical industries due to their use as main building blocks for many for industrial and domestic applications.
Gliding is the art of maintaining the flattest ski in order to achieve the lowest possible friction. The forces associated with gliding are fairly straightforward: gravity, friction, and air resistance. Air resistance has several inputs that add to the total resistive force. Friction is caused by the lack of a perfectly smooth surface between the skis and snow on a microscopic level. Think of it as the Rocky Mountain range trying to slide over the Himalayas. On a microscopic level this is what friction is.
Roller screws are accustomed remodel rotary movement into linear movement and the other way around. The bearing components are threaded rollers positioned between the screw and therefore the nut. The massive variety of contact points permits roller screws to support terribly high loads. The roller screw is comparable to the ball screw with the distinction that the load transfer components are threaded rollers. When put next to standard ball screws, have the subsequent advantages: the most advantage of roller screws is that they need an outsized variety of contact points to support the load with higher permissible static and dynamic load capability. Due to the larger variety of contact points the bearing perform is ensured by uniform spreading of load over the threaded rollers rather than balls just in case of ball screws. It's higher mechanics and dynamics in operating condition, generates less vibration and lower noise. The transmission exactitude of PRS is higher and may add a lot of more durable condition. Because to these compensation, a lot of analysis on roller screw has been administrated, and therefore the roller screw has been utilized in the medical, aerospace, military, assembly, Food and drink, Plastics, textiles and machine tools industries.
It is a strong acid. Its crystal structure is body centered cubic. Over 2/3 of all molybdenum is used in alloys.
In the past 30 years the sport has changed dramatically, adding skis made of synthetic materials, and utilizing waxes for improved speed. Physicists have been at the front line of all this; from determining the coefficent of friction for both the wax and the ski, to helping skiers change their technique based on the laws of physics.
Oil sands are unconventional petroleum deposits that consist of loose sand and partially consolidated sand stone that contains natural mixtures of natural clay, sand and water which is saturated with a highly viscous form of petroleum that flows extremely slowly known as bitumen (Yunchez, 2012).
A tool that goes along with surf wax is a wax comb. A wax comb will create grooves in the wax. The groove adds even more traction and grip to the
The first step to waxing your skis is choosing the right wax. There are a few different categories of waxes, for example, temperature-specific wax. Each wax in this category has a temperature range
Snowboards and skis are made out of the same material and they both require waxing. Like some skis, snowboards are carved upwards on both tips of the board for freestyle movements. The equipment is made for the boarder or skier to use on the same

Transportation is another benefit of oil. Of course we all know that we use oil to run our vehicles, but that is not the only benefit. Oil is also used in combustion engines.
