...S. Adnan Qasim; M. Afzaal Malik; M. Ali Khan; R. A. Mufti A fully established elastohydrodynamic lubricating (EHL) film between the piston and the liner surfaces during normal engine operation minimizes piston slap and prevents adhesive wear. Wear cannot be prevented in the initial engine start up...

...E. Abu-Nada; I. Al-Hinti; A. Al-Sarkhi; B. Akash This paper presents thermodynamic analysis of piston friction in spark-ignition internal combustion engines. The general effect of piston friction on engine performance was examined during cold starting and normal working conditions. Considerations...

...Morgan L. Hendry; Matthew G. Hoffman Most gas turbine generators rely on an automatic-engaging, free-wheel clutch to connect a starting motor to accelerate the gas turbine generator from zero to some intermediate speed to enable ignition and then provide torque assistance to a higher speed until...
