Mechanical efficiency of reciprocating internal combustion engines

This paper considers the analysis of mechanical losses in the piston engine. The influence of operating parameters and design parameters on the frictional losses is described, and the values of friction work and mechanical efficiency with various engines are stated. Methods of measurement are also briefly stated, and approximate calculations of mechanical losses are given. Special attention is given to the calculation of these losses with Willians, i.e. Schweitzer-line. Results are shown on a selected example.
