Friction in Automotive Engines [PDF]
, 2013 The current situation of the automotive industry is a challenging one. On one hand, the ongoing trend to more luxury cars brings more and more benefits to the customer and is certainly also an important selling point. The same applies to the increased safety levels modern cars have to provide. However, both of these benefits come with a severe inherent

A Stirling Engine for Automotive Applications [PDF]
2017 IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (VPPC), 2017 This paper describes a Stirling Engine used as an Auxiliary Power Unit in a Series Hybrid Vehicle. The engine modeling is presented, then its integration in the vehicle power train is described. Fuel consumption, power train efficiency are compared between Stirling Engines and Spark ignition Engines.

Grand Challenges in Engine and Automotive Engineering [PDF]
Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering, 2015 Oil provides 33% of the world’s energy (Wilcox, 2014) and transportation engines account for over 60% of the 70 million barrels of crude used each day. Engines power the world’s roughly one billion passenger vehicles, as well as trucks and heavy-duty vehicles. In theUSA, engines consume 14million barrels of oil per day or 2.5 gal/person.
