MATHEMATICAL analyses of the force required to accelerate the reciprocating parts of six and of eight-cylinder engines and of the axial and perpendicular components of the force needed to accelerate ...

With applications that range from firming intermittent resources to providing combined heat and power solutions, reciprocating engine manufacturers have made strides to improve their machines’ ...

Your engine is supposed to vibrate, just a little. But when the shaking gets harder to ignore, there’s probably something ...

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...

Many experts believe power plants constructed with reciprocating engines are the ideal complement to intermittent renewables. Recip plants are extremely flexible. Facilities can be sized for almost ...

Testing of lubricants and surfaces on reciprocating systems, like linear compressors and engines, traditionally involves the use of large-scale tribometers before final component testing. This article ...
