Twin Crank Shaft Engine Arrangement
Sudan Engineering Society, Journal, May 2006, Volume,52 No.46 pages:1to6Friction is the worst enemy of machinery. Co
mbustion engine fricti
on and wear on moving
parts, flaking of bearings and cylinder scuff cau
se a reduced life of engines. In the present
investigation a model has been
built, for the first time at Sudan University of Science and
Technology / College of Engineering, to measur
e wear characteristics
in twin crankshaft
engine which considered as one of the solutio
ns to reduce friction in engine cylinders. The
model was manufactured considering the sa
me design equations used for conventional
engines. Preliminarily tests show
ed that the engine is capable
to carry out tests to study wear
characteristics in internal combustion engines
