Reducing in-cylinder parasitic losses through surface modification and coating

Friction constitutes nearly one fifth of all engine losses. The main contributory source of frictional losses in most engines is the piston-cylinder system, accounting for nearly half of all the parasitic losses. Minimisation of this is essential for improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, w...
