1. It features VVT-i, off-set type crankshaft which reduces friction losses and narrow-angle valves. 2. The actual thermal efficiency will be significantly lower due to heat and friction losses . 3. In any case, it is already accounted for in the figure for friction loss . 4. A hydraulic or compressed air system would be subject to leaks and friction losses . 5. The oil becomes the heat sink for the friction losses generated by the bearing. 6. Friction losses typically increase with an increasing wetted perimeter, resulting in a decrease in heat.7. Subaru claims a 28-percent reduction in friction losses , mainly due to lighter pistons and connecting rods. 8. A drive belt, or a rotating shaft would be expensive and have very high friction losses . 9. In this we take care of both shock and friction losses as shown in the Figure 5. 10. Practical thermal efficiency of a steam turbine varies with turbine size, load condition, gap losses and friction losses .
