Abstract
Using capacitance transducers the oil film thickness between the compression ring and the cylinder liner of a diesel engine has been investigated in the region of top dead centre. Results are presented from two engines, one supercharged and the other normally aspirated. Calculations of the film thickness have been carried out and these are compared with the measured results.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
