Numerical modeling of piston secondary motion and skirt lubrication in internal combustion engines (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Internal combustion engines dominate transportation of people and goods, contributing significantly to air pollution, and requiring large amounts of fossil fuels. With increasing public concern about the environment and ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)In order to support the development of improved methods for departure operations, the flow constraints and their causalities --primarily responsible for inefficiencies and delays-- need to be identified. This thesis is an ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)In piston ring pack design, there is a tradeoff between reducing friction and increasing oil consumption. While friction reduces engine efficiency, oil consumption can poison exhaust aftertreatment systems. The primary ...
