idk lol

Water vapor is a necessary component for graphite lubrication.

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

ok @thinker1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mayankdevnani are u with an answer

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

yaa @thinker1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats it and why

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

Water vapor is a necessary component for graphite lubrication. The adsorption of water reduces the bonding energy between the hexagonal planes of the graphite to a lower level than the adhesion energy between a substrate and the graphite. Because water vapor is a requirement for lubrication, graphite is not effective in vacuum.

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

ok @thinker1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually if u see graphite is made of c-c sp2 bond and silane of si-0-si .silane bond is very strong as compared to that of graphite moreover both have lubricating properties .but c bonds can easily break in high temp. of machine leading to soot formation and other by producys leading to formation of materials that can jam themachinery.well i didnt knew about u r reason thanks for that well one more favour can u tell me in which class u r in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mayankdevnani

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

11 class

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

Graphite is characterized by two main groups: natural and synthetic

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

The higher the carbon content and the degree of graphitization (high crystalline) the better the lubricity and resistance to oxidation in synthetic graphite....so its lubricant is WATER VAPOR.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dang hes smart lol

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

ok @thinker1 then sorry i don't think

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

thnx.. @mikala1 you too..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ye go on

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

what? it's finish lol ...hahaha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i have studied its lubricity mainly due to weak vanderwall's forces which enable slipping of one layer over other

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

it's another reason and in which class you are?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12th

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

oh!!!!!!!1 sir

OpenStudy (anonymous):

be with me for a second

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

thank you it's my limit

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

ok as you wish!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i got it i admire u r knowledge thanks and dont cal me sir only a yaer older than u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

ok

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

@thinker1 i completed your challenge!!!
