To extend drain intervals and improve efficiency, new engine oils with increased dispersant concentration and reduced viscosity are required. Low viscosity engine oils can increase the prevalence of boundary friction at low temperature and increase i

It is necessary to develop an analytical solution in order to combine predictions with measured tribological parameters and fundamentally understand the mechanism of lubrication in a typical region of engine cycle, using tribometric studies. This pap

Wankel rotary engines are used as power units in contemporary machines such as unmanned aerial vehicles and automobile range extenders due to their high-power density. A challenge of the engine architecture is the maintenance of an effective seal aro

Prediction of load capacity and friction depends on the assumed boundary conditions. The inlet comprises swirl and counter flows, admitting only a portion of the inward flow into the conjunctional gap. At the contact exit, the lubricant film ruptures

Friction constitutes nearly one fifth of all engine losses. The main contributory source of frictional losses in most engines is the piston–cylinder system, accounting for nearly half of all the parasitic losses. Minimisation of this is essential f

The article proposes a mathematical model, which predicts the frictional performance of an internal combustion engine compression ring in the vicinity of the top dead center region. It accounts for the blow-by induced inter-ring pressures drop and fo

Minimization of parasitic losses in the internal combustion (IC) engine is essential for improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. Surface texturing has emerged as a method palliating these losses in instances where thin lubricant films lead to

Reciprocating and low-speed sliding contacts can experience increased friction because of solid boundary interactions. Use of surface texturing has been shown to mitigate undue boundary friction and improve energy efficiency. A combined numerical and

The paper describes the importance of reducing frictional losses in internal combustion (IC) engines, thereby improving engine efficiency. One of the main sources contributing significantly to engine friction is the interaction between the piston com

The article presents detailed analysis of the conforming contact between a piston and cylinder liner in a high-speed racing engine under extreme operating conditions owing to high loads and operating speeds in excess of 19 000 r/min, resulting in a h
