Viscous Substance

The paper presents the experimental studies of coal-water fuel viscosity and suspensions with addition of small amount of various liquid combustible components (isopropyl alcohol, liquid wastes of rubber products processing, and used engine oil) performed. The results show that a liquid combustible component introduced into the suspension causes an increase in the viscosity of the fuel, since the viscosity of the considered liquid combustible components is higher than the viscosity of water. It has been established that the viscosity of slurry fuels based on 3B, D, and T grade coals increases with the increase in the combustible components concentration in the liquid, as less viscous water is replaced by a more viscous substance. Slurry fuel based on 3B grade coal has been determined to have the highest viscosity among the three studied grades, while the slurry fuel based on T grade coal has the smallest viscosity. It has been established that coal-water fuels with addition of a small amount of various liquid combustible components can be used for combustion in boiler units furnaces, since their viscosity and fluidity remain within acceptable limits.

The assay was conducted in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul-Brasil, to compare the effect of used engine oil with to paraquat (Gramoxone) applied during the physiological maturition of soybean seeds (Glicyne max (L.) Merrill), Bragg variety. The oil doses were 5.3, 8.5 and 12 l/ha. The desiccation intensity was determined and 30 pods per plot were periodically collected to follow the humidity content of the seeds, to 18%. The humidity was later reduced to 10.5 +0.5 and 2.0 kg of seeds were stored, in cotton bags,during 6 months under the environmental conditions at the Centro de Entrenamiento de Semillas of the Federal University of Pelotas. The seeds were subjected to germination, vigor and phytosanitary tests at harvest time and after 3 and 6 months of storage. Under the conditions of this trial, the doses of 12 l/ha of oil and 2 l/ha of paraquat: a) act as desiccants for soybean plants, b) favors the production of seeds with better viability and vigor after 6 months of storage and c) guarantied better sanitary seed quality after 6 months of storage.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the effect of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) nanoparticles on extreme pressure (EP) properties when used as an additive in lubricating oil. Design/methodology/approach The nano-oil was prepared by dispersing an optimal composition of 0.5 vol. per cent of 70 nm hBN in SAE 15W-40 diesel engine oil using a sonication technique. The tribological testing was performed using a four-ball tribometer according to the ASTM standard. Findings It was found that the nano-oil has a potential to decelerate the seizure point on the contact surfaces, where higher EP can be obtained. More adhesive wear was observed on the worn surfaces of ball bearing lubricated with SAE 15W-40 diesel engine oil as compared with the nano-oil lubrication. Originality/value The results of the experimental studies demonstrated the potential of hBN as an additive for improving the load-carrying ability of lubricating oil.
