Abstract General reductions in lubricant viscosities many machine components mean that the role of additives forming tribofilms has become increasingly important to provide adequate surface protection against scuffing. However, relationship between scuffing and formation removal not been systematically demonstrated. In this study, a step-sliding speed test based on contra-rotation using MTM-SLI...

reactivity controlled compression ignition (rcci) is a novel combustion concept which uses port fuel injection (pfi) of a low reactivity fuel and direct injection (di) of a high reactivity fuel with optimum multiple injection to provide a stratified mixture inside the combustion chamber. piston bowl design has a considerable effect on engine’s pollutant emissions specially unburned hydrocarbons...

Aqueous solutions of ethoxylated alcohols which form lyotropic liquid crystals at high concentrations (40-80%) were selected as model lubricating substances. Microscopic studies under polarized light and viscosity measurements were carried out in order to confirm the presence of liquid crystalline structures in the case of alcohol solutions with ethoxylation degrees of 3, 5, 7 and 10. Microscop...

The gas force due to the combustion in the cylinder of an IC engine will cause the piston to move with primary motion and secondary motion. The primary motion of the piston from TDC to BDC is linear in nature. This motion is desired for translation of motion of engine components. Secondary motion is due to the transverse motion of the piston while piston moving from TDC to BDC and vice-versa. T...

This paper takes dynamics analysis on the piston and the dynamic lubrication theory on the skirt and the ring of piston as the basis. Using AVL Glide software, through the establishment of the analysis model of the piston secondary movements, this study focuses on the effects of the crankshaft bias on piston secondary movements’ characteristics. This paper takes 5 different offsets, by comparin...

This paper describes the behavior of a rolling piston in a rolling piston type rotary compressor under various operating conditions. Kinematic behavior of the rolling piston is discussed with attention to the friction forces acting on the rolling piston and the vane. Emphasis is on the following simulation approach. (1) The equation of motion of the rolling piston is solved in conjunction with ...

Abstract Worm gears with wheels of harder materials, such as cast iron or steel, are often prone to the damage type scuffing, which can cause a sudden and rapid failure gear box. Contact temperature is suitable criterion determine scuffing safety for other types gears. However, worm gears, load capacity calculation not available at moment. This paper presents numerical simulation that considers...

In this paper a mathematical simulation of a simplified internal combustion engine is presented. To contribute engine kinematics and its geometry, simple relations are derived for constrained motions. The equation of motion for the piston forms a singular boundary value problem. The uniqueness of the solution was studied in the Banach space. For solving governing equations an iterative numerica...
