In modern society the Lubricants is widely used everyday life such as transportation and industrial plant. This study aims to provide an overview of the distribution channel of Lubricant and it's history of development in Korea. For this purpose, this study explores the basic knowledge and it's characteristics of lubricant which is essential goods for all transportation including cars and for all industrial facilities to produce their own products. According to development of industry and economic grow, the distribution channel also expended and become more complicated. Especially as Lubricants has both characteristics of consumer products and industrial products, the distribution channel is also developed different ways. I will attempt to summarize the differences between each distribution channels including franchise network of automotive repair shop and issues on role and responsibility of manufacturer and distributor. And then I hope to suggest the improvement of distribution channel.

Recently, a double-side machining process has been adopted in fabricating a sapphire glass to enhance the manufacturability. Double-side lap grinding (DLG) is one of the emerging processes that can reduce process steps in the fabrication of sapphire glasses. The DLG process uses two-body abrasion with fixed abrasives including pallet. This process is designed to have a low pressure and high rotational speed in order to obtain the required material removal rate. Thus, the temperature is distributed on the DLG platen during the process. This distribution affects the shape of the substrate after the DLG process. The coolant that is supplied into the cooling channel carved in the base platen can help to control the temperature distribution of the DLG platen. This paper presents the results of computational fluid dynamics with regard to the heat transfer in a DLG platen, which can be used for fabricating a sapphire glass. The simulation conditions were 200 rpm of rotational speed, 50℃ of frictional temperature on the pallet, and 20℃ of coolant temperature. The five cases of the coolant flow rate (20~36 l/min) were simulated with a tetrahedral mesh and prism mesh. The simulation results show that the capacity of the generated cooling system can be used for newly developed DLG machines. Moreover, the simulation results may provide a process parameter influencing the uniformity of the sapphire glass in the DLG process.
