It finds particular application for reducing the consumption of energy and fuel, and for increasing the reliability and service life of machinery. As hard-won experience is built up, the principles of good design are increasingly  clarified and become available for wider use. \u003cp\u003eThere can be few examples for which this cycle of learning and feedback is more economically valuable than the refinement of the internal combustion engine - the prime mover of today's highly mobile economy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBased on papers presented at an IMechE seminar, \u003ci\u003eTribology of Internal Combustion Engines\u003c\/i\u003e should be read by all those working in the fields of tribology and automotive engine technology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTopics covered include:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e-Vehicle environmental legislation: past, present, and future\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e- Recent developments in piston assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e- Cylinder bore surface finish - its evolution and specification\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e- The development of high - stream aluminium tin silicon copper bearing alloys for automotive applications\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDevelopments in camshaft and follower technology\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRing zone lubrication: implications for reduced emissions and enhanced engine life\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAutomotive lubricants: today's choices, tomorrow's possibilities\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Jaguar AJ-V8 engine\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eIMechE\u003c\/strong\u003e is the United Kingdom's qualifying body for mechanical engineers and the home of mechanical engineers for over 150 years.
