Disclosed is a composition of a lubricant for cold pilgering of zirconium alloy tubes. More particularly, disclosed is a composition of an external lubricant for cold pilgering of a zirconium alloy cladding tube, the composition exhibiting excellent lubricity and decomposition against microbes.

The present invention provides a thermal management system comprising a housing having an interior space; a heat-generating component disposed within the interior space; a heat exchanger; and a working fluid liquid disposed within the interior space wherein the heat-generating component is in contact with the working fluid. The working fluid comprises a Fischer-Tropsch derived base fluid; an antioxidant and anti-static additives. The system is constructed wherein a constant cyclical flow of working fluid is maintained across the heat-generating components, on to the heat exchanger and then back to the heat-generating component.

The present invention provides a method of thermal management of a heat-generating component comprising partially immersing a heat-generating component in a working fluid and transferring the heat from the heat-generating component using the working fluid in a constant cyclical flow of working fluid across the heat-generating components, on to a heat exchanger and then back to the heat-generating component.

The present invention relates to a dinuclear molybdenum complex with ligands selected from fatty tertiary amines of formula (I):

wherein R represents a linear or branched alkyl comprising 3 to 30 carbon atoms, preferably 3 to 20, advantageously 7 to 17 carbon atoms; n, identical or different, represents 2 or 3; R.sup.2 and R.sup.3, identical or different, represent an O, OR, NR′.sub.2, COOR′, or COO group, where R′, identical or different, represents a hydrogen atom or an alkaline or alkaline earth metal, preferably R′ is H, preferably R.sup.2 and R.sup.3, identical or different, represent an OH or NH.sub.2 group.

A lubricant additive composition and lubricant composition are provided that include one or more friction modifier compounds and antiwear compounds. Methods of lubricating moving metal surfaces of a machine are also provided.

The instant disclosure relates to a lubricant composition having an oil of lubricating viscosity, a polymeric surfactant compound that is an acylated polymer having a number average molecular weight of about 500 to about 50,000 where the polymer comprises a branched olefin having from 8 to 30 carbon atoms. The acylated polymer can further be reacted with an amine or alcohol to form an amide, imide, ester or combinations thereof. The present disclosure further relates to lubricant compositions that exhibit good dispersancy and viscometric performance.

Provided herein is an e-Drive fluid containing PAO 2.5, ester and hydrocarbon mixtures with controlled structure characteristics that address the performance requirements for film thickness and efficiency within e-transmissions.

The invention is directed to a method for reducing low speed pre-ignition events in a spark-ignited direct injection internal combustion engine by supplying to the sump a lubricant composition which contains an oil of lubricating viscosity and an ashless dispersant. The ashless dispersant may be selected from succinimide compounds prepared from aliphatic or aromatic amines.

A lubricating oil composition and method for controlling timing chain stretch, wherein the composition contains greater than 50 wt. % of base oil, zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate(s) to provide 350-2200 ppm zinc, molybdenum-containing compound(s) to provide >1-3000 ppm molybdenum, and magnesium-containing detergent(s) to provide <2050 ppm magnesium, all based on the total weight of the composition. The composition has a total TBN of less than 7.5 mg KOH/g, measured by ASTM D-2896 and a weight ratio of ppm of zinc from zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate(s) to ppm of molybdenum from molybdenum-containing compound(s) of <10. The method employs the lubricating oil composition to control timing chain stretch to a level of 0.1% or less.

A continuous process for converting waste plastic into recycle for polypropylene polymerization is provided. The process integrates refinery operations to provide an effective and efficient recycle process. The process comprises selecting waste plastics containing polyethylene and polypropylene and then passing the waste plastics through a pyrolysis reactor to thermally crack at least a portion of the polyolefin waste and produce a pyrolyzed effluent. The pyrolyzed effluent is separated into offgas, a naphtha/diesel fraction, a heavy fraction, and char. The naphtha/diesel fraction is passed to a refinery FCC unit, from which is recovered a liquid petroleum gas C.sub.3 olefin/paraffin mixture. The C.sub.3 paraffins and C.sub.3 olefins are separated into different fractions with a propane/propylene splitter. The C.sub.3 olefin fraction is passed to a propylene polymerization reactor. The C.sub.3 paraffin fraction is optionally passed to a dehydrogenation unit to produce additional propylene and then the resulting C.sub.3 olefin is passed to a propylene polymerization reactor. The heavy fraction of pyrolyzed oil is passed to an isomerization dewaxing unit to produce a lubricating base oil.

In some embodiments, ethylene-propylene branched copolymers are synthesized with pyridyldiamido catalysts and a chain transfer agent, and their performance as viscosity modifiers in oil are detailed. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides for ethylene-propylene branched copolymers having a shear thinning onset of less than about 0.01 rad/s and an HTHS value of less than about 3.3. In some embodiments, the ethylene-propylene branched copolymer is used as a viscosity modifier in a lubricating composition and a fuel composition.
