The minimization of friction losses in internal combustion engines is a goal of primary
importance for the automotive industry, both to improve performance and to comply with …

The piston group is responsible for contributing to~ 50% of the frictional losses of an engine,
which ultimately leads to the waste of fuel. This coupled with the fact that gasoline is a finite …

The experimental dependencies of the friction coefficient and the wear rate for lubricants
without additives and the oil containing an anti-wear additive are obtained. The received …

This study investigates the incorporation of an “enhanced” hypocycloid gear mechanism
(HGM) in the design and development of internal combustion engine applications. The …

Historically, the engine crankcase has been made of gray cast iron due to that material's'
high machinability, damping ability, thermal conductivity, and sensible cost. Despite these …

In this study the combined dynamic and thermodynamic analysis of a two-stroke internal
combustion engine was carried out. The variation of the heat, given to the working fluid …
