Solid-liquid-vapor interfacial resistance related multiphysis of tribology

Apr 1, 2018

Scale effect of the interfacial resistance at solid－liquid－vapor interface increases as increasing the characteristic length scale of the system, which might induce a significant deviation in microsystems from the classical heat transfer theory for macrosystem. In this study, the correlation between the interfacial resistance and the thermal/wetting/electrochemical properties at solid－liquid－vapor interface has been studied. The effects of interfacial resistances on thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication were investigated to clarify the temperature rise and film thickness reduction of tribological surfaces under point contact.
