Tribology of piston compression ring conjunction under transient thermal mixed regime of lubrication

Fuel efficiency is the main IC engine attribute, with the compression ring-bore contact consuming nearly 5% of the fuel energy. Analyses are often idealised, such as isothermal condition and smooth surfaces, the former being particularly contrary to practice. An analytic solution to the average flow...
