32. Extension of the high load limit in the Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition engine

Scaringe, Robert J. (Robert Joseph),

The Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine offers diesel-like efficiency with very low soot and NOx emissions. In a HCCI engine, a premixed charge of air, fuel and burned gas is compres...

35. Piston ring design for reduced friction in modern internal combustion engines

Smedley, Grant, 1978-,

Piston ring friction losses account for approximately 20% of the total mechanical losses in modern internal combustion engines. A reduction in piston ring friction would therefore result in higher eff...

36. An experimental study of the oil evolution in critical piston ring pack regions and the effects of piston and ring designs in an internal combustion engine utilizing two-dimensional laser induced fluorescence and the impact on maritime economics

Vokac, Adam, 1978-,

Faced with increasing concern for lubricating, oil consumption and engine friction, it is critical to understand the oil transport mechanisms in the power cylinder system. Lubricating oil travels thro...
