The local thickness of the oil film can be compared to the height of the combined surface roughness of a cylinder liner and piston rings. Equations describing the mixed lubrication problem based on the empirical mathematical model formulated in works by Patir, Cheng [6, 7] and Greenwood, Tripp [3] have been combined [13] and used in this paper. A model of a gas flow through the labyrinth seal of piston rings has been developed [14,16]. In addition, models of ring twist effects and axial ring motion in piston grooves have been applied [15,16]. In contrast to the previous papers of the author, an experimental verification of the main parts of developed mathematical model and software has been presented. A relatively good compatibility between the experimental measurements and calculated results has been achieved.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Experimental verification of the model of piston ring pack operation of an internal combustion engine}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/115392/PDF/AME_2009_132089.pdf}, doi={10.24425/ame.2009.132089}, keywords={piston rings, gasdynamics, hydrodynamics, surface roughness, experimental verification}, }
