Sulphur emissions by ships - Transport Committee 1 Introduction 1. Sulphur dioxide emissions are falling across Europe, but emissions from shipping continue to rise. The shipping industry is therefore being targeted with tighter limits, both internationally and by the European Commission (the Commission). 2. the impact on shipping of more stringent limits on sulphur content in fuel, due to revisions to Annex VI of the International Maritime Organisation's Marine Pollution Convention (hereafter referred to as Annex VI); possible implications for other sectors, such as road haulage; steps which the UK Government could take to assist the maritime sector meet its obligations under Annex VI; and the Commission's proposals to implement the revisions to Annex VI, and the UK Government's stance on those proposals. We held two oral evidence sessions and received twenty-two written submissions; we thank all those who contributed to our inquiry. The impacts of sulphur pollution 3. 4. 5. 6.

The reduced friction leads to less wear, heat generation and energy loss – all of which reduce operation costs and downtime. How lubricants provide these benefits will be explored in this course. Automobile Engine Piston Lubrication is used in almost every mechanical device, such as the automobile engine, including the pistons (above) and gears (below). Back To Top Fluids and Viscosity Simply put, a fluid is a material that is either a liquid or gas, and fluids include air, water and oil. Back To Top Lubrication Regimes The thickness of the fluid film determines the lubrication regime, or the type of lubrication. In addition to fluid film lubrication, there is solid film lubrication, in which a thin solid film separates two surfaces. Stribeck Curve Sribeck Curve Hydrodynamic Lubrication Hydrodynamic Lift
