Lubrication
Videos
Lubrication is the process or technique of using a lubricant to reduce friction and wear and tear in a contact between two surfaces. The study of lubrication is a discipline in the field of tribology.
Lubrication of a ship's steam engine crankshaft. The two bottles of lubricant are attached to the piston and move while the engine is operating.
