Ensuring everything runs smoothly in power plants and space shuttles: New research project at the University of Bayreuth
In power engineering and space technology, the lubrication of moving machine elements is a particular challenge: the usual greases or oils have the disadvantage here that they evaporate in a vacuum and at high temperatures, while they lose their lubricating effect at very low temperatures. Therefore, solid lubricants are often needed. A new project at the University of Bayreuth aims to make a fundamental contribution to optimisation in this field, which has been little researched so far. Bayreuth’s Engineering Design and CAD research group is cooperating with the Institute of Materials Engineering at the University of Kassel and the Computer Chemistry Centre at FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg.
