Marian's composure anchored a story with remarkably
low friction between the parents and a clear focus on their daughter.
Here the water
lowers the friction between the glacier and the underlying rock.
Between the excellent browser integration and the great mobile apps, LastPass really
lowers the friction between the end user and good password management.
Not exact matches
A brushless motor keeps the
friction low between the moving parts.
This forms a so - called transfer film
between the
low friction coating and the object through which surfaces can slide with the minimum of
friction.
But this assumes a high degree of
friction between the
lower atmosphere and a craggy, rocky surface and efficient high - altitude air flow.
Hyundai has attempted to improve fuel efficiency by implementing a
lower -
friction crankshaft seal, and redesigned the timing chain so there is less
friction between the camshaft gears and the chain.
Plateau honing
lowers the
friction level
between the pistons and the cylinders by creating an ultra smooth surface.
Depending on several variables, including vehicle speed; lateral and longitudinal acceleration; steering angle;
friction differences
between wheels and accelerator position, the rear differential will engage and power up the rear wheels — typically dividing torque 50 - 50, but, for brief bursts on extreme
low -
friction surfaces, it can send all engine power to the rear.
[3] For Audi in their Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro, the V10 was a compromise
between a V12, which would be too long and suffer more internal
friction due to extra cylinders and valves, and a V8 which would be more compact but have larger, heavier pistons and have a
lower redline.
The NR engine family (there's also a 1.5 L version in the Avanza) comes with intake and exhaust Dual VVT - i, teflon coating for the pistons (to reduce
friction and improve durability), larger water jackets (better cooling, improved combustion,
lower noise), roller rocker arm (reduces
friction between rocker arm and camshaft) and iridium spark plugs (the 1.0 L KR in the Bezza and Axia also uses the latter).
A process called «plateau honing» further
lowers the
friction level
between the pistons and the cylinders by creating an ultra-smooth surface.
The traction assistance provided by the double - disc clutch is especially noticeable when the
friction ratio
between the tyres and the road is
low, since the clutch locks the powertrain mechanically during moderate starting if the
friction coefficient
between the tyres and the road is less than µ = 0.3 (more or less equivalent to snow).
A
low -
friction three - cylinder architecture that delivers naturally high torque at
low rpm An integrated exhaust manifold that improves fuel - efficiency by helping the engine reach optimal temperatures faster, and delivers torque more rapidly by minimizing the distance exhaust gasses travel
between cylinders and turbocharger.
Valve train Lightweight titanium intake valves are operated by roller rocker arms with integrated
low rolling resistance needle bearings that significantly reduce
friction between the cam and the sliding parts.
Between the upslope meltwater and the
friction caused by the now - sliding
lower section of the glacier, the previously frozen sediment beneath the glacier quickly turned in a slip - and - slide.
