AB - For use in elastohydrodynamic systems, the ideal lubricant is generally one which forms a thick separating film between the rubbing surfaces over a wide range of operating conditions. This implies a fluid with a high temperature-viscosity coefficient and a low pressure-viscosity coefficient. Unfortunately there is a broad correlation between these two values for liquids. This paper derives and then verifies, using experimental data, an expression for this correlation based upon the assumption that viscosity is a thermodynamic property of state. From the resultant expression, the factors that contribute to a high ratio of pressure- to temperature- viscosity coefficient are identified and discussed by reference to a range of lubricant structures.
