TRIBOLOGY-BASED ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Tribology is the science and technology of friction, wear and lubrication of interacting surfaces in relative motion. In almost every aspect of our daily lives some application of tribology can be met. Gripping, holding, sliding, brushing, machinery works, friction between skin and clothes, between wheel and road, etc. demonstrate the impact of tribology. This paper reviews literatures that report of what have been published about knowledge and ideas, on the tribology topic by accredited scholars and researchers, with respect to the efficiency of energy in its use. Results showed that by applying the science and technology of tribology the use of energy can be saved up to more less 11%
