Abstract
Cryogenic Minimum Quantity Lubrication (cMQL) with oil and liquid or supercritical CO2 provides efficient cooling and lubrication for machining difficult-to-cut materials. For drilling, oil and CO2 should be in a single-phase state to avoid separation in the fast-rotating drill spindle before expanding at the drill tip. This article presents the phase behavior, dissolution kinetics and expansion behavior of three sulfur-based additives and three additive-oil blends with CO2. Phase behavior is analyzed at 25 °C, 40 °C, and 60 °C between 60 bar and 250 bar. Dissolution kinetics are observed in a transparent flow cell and correlated with phase behavior. Trisulfide and polysulfide additives show high solubility and rapid homogenization, while a sulfurized methyl ester exhibits insufficient dissolution behavior. Oil blends reflect the behavior of their components. Expansion of the oil-CO2 mixtures at the drill tip was investigated using a high-speed camera. A fine, homogeneous spray was observed under all conditions.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Supercritical Fluids is an international journal devoted to the fundamental and applied aspects of supercritical fluids and processes. Its aim is to provide a focused platform for academic and industrial researchers to report their findings and to have ready access to the advances in this rapidly growing field. Its coverage is multidisciplinary and includes both basic and applied topics.
Thermodynamics and phase equilibria, reaction kinetics and rate processes, thermal and transport properties, and all topics related to processing such as separations (extraction, fractionation, purification, chromatography) nucleation and impregnation are within the scope. Accounts of specific engineering applications such as those encountered in food, fuel, natural products, minerals, pharmaceuticals and polymer industries are included. Topics related to high pressure equipment design, analytical techniques, sensors, and process control methodologies are also within the scope of the journal.
