Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTesting Composite Valve Covers for Reciprocating Engine ApplicationsPeng Hao Wang, Natalie ZimmermannThe use of composites within the aeronautical field is not limited to airframe applications and includes powerplant components in reciprocating engines. To add to the research body in this area, the presented work aimed to evaluate the performance of novel carbon fiber valve covers installed on an aircraft reciprocating engine. Specifically, the comparative performance between novel composite-based valve covers and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 12 Aug 2022 · 5,836 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Oil Film Shape on Piston Ring and Liner Tribology Under Mixed LubricationAbbas Razavykia, Cristiana Delprete, Eugenio Brusa, Yaser HosseiniMechanical power loss reduction at lubricated reciprocating and rotating components is recognized as an approach to improve the efficiency and to reduce the emissions of Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs). To achieve these goals, the instantaneous investigation of lubrication characteristics is required. Piston ring pack is of paramount importance as it is known as major contributor to frictional losses and energy … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 10 Nov 2021 · 6,523 accessesView PDF Cite
