2. Impact of tribology on greenhouse gas emissions
The various forms of friction that create resistance to the relative movement of machine components inevitably lead to energy losses in tribological systems. Ultimately, this results in a loss of energy that is irreversibly converted into heat. According to a more recent publication by Holmberg et al. on the energy consumed by friction in automobiles, around 85% of the usable mechanical power generated by the combustion heat of fuel for propulsion is lost in the form of friction in the various tribological...
