Superlubricity has been develo** very rapidly in recent years as a new and important area
in tribology. Many new phenomena and materials, as well as some new mechanisms in both …

According to scientific studies dealing with the statistics of ICE (internal combustion engine)
failures, most of them are registered in the ignition system (25%) and the power system …

Energy flow analysis is an effective tool for refined development of vehicle to improve its
energy efficiency. To reveal the energy-saving principles of hybrid vehicle, a plug-in hybrid …

Conventional dual fuel (CDF), early pilot (E-Pilot), and reactivity-controlled compression-
ignition (RCCI) were compared in a natural gas-diesel dual-fuel engine. The CDF mode was …

Abstract 90% of traded goods are transported by ship, the vast majority of which are
propelled by diesel engines with an energy efficiency of no more than 50%. Among the …

This paper presents a case study and a model to predict maintenance interventions based
on condition monitoring of diesel engine oil in urban buses by accompanying the evolution …

The paper presents and discusses a model for condition monitoring. Using data from the oil
in the Diesel engines of a fleet of urban buses, it studies the evolution of degradation and …

Silica (SiO2) is one of the most promising inorganic nanofillers, and it has been widely used
in the preparation of polymer nanocomposites due to its adjustable morphology, large …

This study explores how reducing lubricant viscosity affects fuel economy in passenger cars
through experimental characterization and semi-predictive modelling. Thus, three engine …

In recent years, the interests on transient operation and real driving emissions have
increased because of the global concern about environmental pollution that has led to new …
