Low engine friction technology paper

[JAG]

It's about natural gas engines but still worth reading.

Good reading. Thanks JAG.. Ed

Tough read...

I never did figure out how they proposed to deliver different viscosity oil to different piston rings.

A good mechanical engineering paper about improving engine efficiency by decreasing friction.
Ring pack friction can be reduced by 30-40%.
Engine friction FEMP can be reduced by 7-10%.
Using low friction lubricants showed an up to 16.5% reduction in total energy FMEP(friction mean effective pressure).
This is a pretty long paper-(221 pages)with a fair amount of maths.
This paper will appeal to Bitogers with a good technical background.
