Approximately 17.9% of fuel energy is used to overcome engine friction in passenger cars with engine frictional losses further broken down into losses along hydrodynamic (40%), elastohydrodynamic – due to pure sliding motion (40%), mixed (10%) and boundary (10%) lubrication regimes. Therefore, to as...
