ABSTRACT A new piston secondary motion analysis has been developed that accurately predicts piston strength and the slap noise that occurs when the engine is running. For this secondary motion ...

Basic mathematics for the car enthusiast: that's this month's shop series as we get into readin', writin' and arodthmetic Like a 9/16-inch box-end wrench or a piston ring compressor, basic mathematics ...

The process of vortex ring generation and propagation has received substantial treatment in the literature. A common ring generation geometry consists of a piston moving through tube that exits into a ...

It is desired to minimize clearance between the piston and the cylinder to reduce noise and suppress vibration. Although significant effort has been made for this purpose, increased piston friction ...

Friction slows equipment, wears components, and renders motion profiles unpredictable. One remedy for linear-motion friction is to use air bearings to carry normally contacting components while ...

Every new electric-car announcement is touted as another nail in the coffin of the internal-combustion engine. But the internal-combustion engine keeps fighting back. The latest counterpunch comes by ...

The V60N-130 joins the V60N Series of axial-piston pumps. The Series now consists of four different sizes with displacement volumes up to 8 in.3/rev, working pressures of up to 5,800 psi, and peak ...
