Timber can be used as a sustainable source for process chemicals (Silvichemicals), with particular emphasis being placed on wood as source of chemical feedstocks. Bulk Silvichemicals are unlikely to be cost competitive with fossil fuel derived chemic... Read More about Development of a method for the production of hemicellulosic gels from Sitka Spruce..

Theoretical and experimental investigation of the effect of oil aeration on the load-carrying capacity of a hydrodynamic journal bearing (2007)
Journal Article
Goodwin, M. J., Dong, D., Yu, H., & Nikolajsen, J. L. (2007). Theoretical and experimental investigation of the effect of oil aeration on the load-carrying capacity of a hydrodynamic journal bearing. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part J: Journal of Engineering Tribology, 221(7), 779-786. https://doi.org/10.1243/13506501jet279

It is widely assumed that the presence of air bubbles in the lubricating oil of a hydrodynamic bearing gives rise to a reduced load-carrying capacity, because of the high compressibility and low viscosity of the air and its tendency, therefore, to up...
