DESIGN OF ENGINE LUBRICATION SYSTEMS
This article describes the British Perkins Engines' work on designing the future diesel engine: 700 specialists are working on this with the help of the Engineering Department's own computer, the company's main frame 370/168 IBM and access to a Honeywell MK3 Geisco System in the USA. Part of a study aimed at improved energy conservation through the production of more efficient engines, is that of optimizing lubrication by both considering improved-lubricants and obtaining a better understanding of the lubrication system. A program has been developed to model the entire oil circulation system of a high speed diesel engine and this program can predict flow in both steady-state and transient conditions.
