AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the friction coefficient between Silicon carbide and fluids, as well as between Steel and fluids. Participants seek clarification on the context, specifically whether the inquiry relates to tooling, abrasion, or the role of fluids as coolants or lubricants. It is noted that the friction coefficient is defined strictly between solid surfaces, implying that fluid viscosity is a significant factor. Additionally, there is interest in understanding the erosion effects of fluids on solid materials. Providing more context about the intended application would enhance the discussion.

I would like to know some details about the Friction Coefficient .
I want to know the friction coefficient between Silicon carbide and any fluid and also betweeen Steel and any Fluid.
Any help regarding my question will be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.

Is this in the context of tooling...abrasion/wear resistance of cutting tool bits ? What purpose does your fluid serve - coolant/lubricant ?

"Friction Coefficient" is strictly defined only between solid surfaces, ie : viscosity is infinitely large.

Are you interested in the erosion effect of the fluid on the solid ?

If you give some context and explain what it is you want to figure out, that would help.
 
I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
