This book contains all basic physical and chemical data concerning lubricants with respect to their rheological behavior. It will enable readers to grasp one of the most critical aspects of lubricant properties more easily. It is intended for engineers in the automotive and petroleum industries as well as for researchers, scientists, technicians and students concerned with lubrication, fluid mechanics and the chemistry of lubricants.

 

This book is available in French under the title "Propriétés rhéologiques des lubrifiants".
