A new model to explore how new ideas affect fuel consumption in large diesel engines has been developed by a world-leading research group in tribology, at Luleå University of Technology. Tribology is the science of interacting surfaces in relative motion, of which there are many examples to be found in an engine. Friction and wear can be reduced by, amongst other things, effective lubrication.
