Sentences with phrase «of mechanical friction»

This outstanding achievement is thanks to a thorough reduction of mechanical friction, improvements to Mazda's unique idling stop system «i - stop», and precisely controlled continuously variable transmission (CVT).

Not exact matches

«Our hypothesis is that maybe this sort of intrinsic mechanical property — the friction these proteins experience — helps them to get where they need to be, as well as maintain the spindle's organization and mechanical integrity during cell division,» Forth says.

Because this torque is transmitted by means of friction rather than direct mechanical contact, considerable power is wasted as heat (which is dissipated by the clutch).

And although a turbo engine can't have the super-high compression ratio of Mazda's naturally aspirated Skyactiv engines, it boasts 1.6 times less mechanical loss as a result of less internal friction.

Higher mechanical losses (friction) due to the number of gears to drive (differentials, axles, driveshafts,...)

The engine block is newly designed to reduce mechanical friction and achieve an optimal air - fuel mix, and a direct fuel injection system is employed due to the wide variety of spray profiles that are possible, enabling the maximum expansion ratio to be achieved.

Friction - reducing design features, including all - new ultra-low viscosity transmission fluid, internal thermal bypass, minimal number of non-applied clutches and other lower mechanical spin losses, contribute to the 10 - speed's effect on improved vehicle efficiency.

This allows the engine block and cylinder heads to be cooled independent of one another, the main thermostat controlling the flow of engine coolant to cylinder heads above 88 °C to reduce knocking, and an engine block thermostat shutting off coolant flow above 105 °C to reduce mechanical friction and aid efficiency.

This allows for the application of regenerative braking by the front and rear electric motors to slow the vehicle, rather than the hydraulic friction brakes, under most circumstances, with the additional of mechanical (friction) braking in hard stops.
