Engine lubrication oil aeration
The lubrication system of an internal combustion engine serves many purposes. It lubricates moving parts, cools the engine, removes impurities, supports loads, and minimizes friction. The entrapment of air in the lubricating oil is called oil aeration. Oil aeration can be detrimental to internal …

Tribopolymerization as an approach to two-stroke engine lubrication
… the current status of two-cycle gasoline engines from the standpoint of design, performance, benefits, lubrication and emissions. The two-stroke engine offers several significant advantages over its four-stroke counterpart, which include: simple design, low production cost, higher power to …

Modeling of two-body fatigue wear of cylinder liner in internal combustion engines during the break-in period and its impact on engine lubrication
Internal combustion engines are widely utilized in modem automobiles. Around 10% of the total fuel energy is dissipated to heat due to mechanical friction, among which 20% is caused by the contact between the cylinder liner and the piston rings. The wear of cylinder liner not only leads to surface …

Characterization of lubricant-derived ash deposition within pores of Diesel Particulate Filters through non-destructive advanced imaging techniques
… the past thirty years to trap and oxidize diesel engine exhaust gas particulate matter in order to meet increasingly stringent emission regulations. Due to engine lubrication oil inorganic additives and internal engine wear, ash particles tend to accumulate within the DPF, contributing to a sharp …

A Conditional approach to the tribology of RNLI marine systems.
… mechanisms in the 4-stroke heavy duty diesel engines of RNLI lifeboats were investigated. These mechanisms lead to the increased wear of main engine components, such as cylinder liners. The lifeboat application is distinct from the other marine applications from an engine lubrication …
