Friction and lubrication in diesel engine system design

This chapter addresses engine friction and lubrication dynamics modeling in diesel engine system design. It starts by introducing important fundamental principles of engine tribology and builds up a three-level system modeling approach of engine friction. The chapter summarizes the friction characteristics and friction-reduction design measures for both the overall engine system and individual subsystems such as the piston assembly, the piston rings, the bearings, and the valvetrain.
