Ultrasonic Lubrication

Abstract

This effort has resulted in a state-of-the-art survey. It involved literature search, conference attendance and meeting with workers and leaders in the fields of ultrasonic lubrication and adiabatic engines. Because of the infancy of both of these fields it appears premature at this time to try to utilize ultrasonic lubrication in the combustion chamber of the adiabatic engine. However, this work includes two suggested adiabatic engine design changes which may be employed presently if the need for ultrasonic lubrication of the combustion chamber of the adiabatic engine becomes sufficiently urgent.
