Gas lubricated bearings use gas as a lubricant between the bearing surfaces instead of oil. Gas lubricated bearings have lower viscosity and viscous resistance than oil lubricated bearings, resulting in lower frictional power loss. The Ertel-Grubin equation describes hydrostatic gas lubrication, but has limitations. Hydrostatic gas lubricated bearings work by injecting pressurized gas into the bearing gap to support the load. Coatings are selected based on the application environment and required properties. Lubrication methods for gears include oil bath lubrication and jet lubrication. Rope and chain lubrication involves applying lubricants externally. IC engine lubrication systems circulate oil to critical engine components using pumps
