Lubricant rheology in refrigeration systems and magnetic storage devices

Abstract: This thesis comprises three papers concerning lubricant rheology in two different applications. The first two papers concern refrigeration systems and the importance of lubricant rheology in elastohydrodynamic lubrication in refrigerating compressors. The third paper is about high-shear rate rheology in the lubrication of the head-media interface in future magnetic hard disk drives.
