frictional loss in a sentence

Examples

1. This greatly reduces frictional losses and wear compared to slipper followers ( where the cam simply slides on a surface on the rocker arm ).
2. Bicycles with straighter chainline are more efficient due to the frictional losses incurred by running the chain straight around both sprockets but at an angle between them.
3. It was estimated that the reduced frictional losses on new bearings introduced throughout the fleet saved the admiralty ?00, 000 in reduced fuel consumption in 1918.
4. :But tanks don't go fast enough for air-resistance to matter much and their complicated drive trains make frictional losses much more critical.
5. When the vibration is stopped, the waveform will decay, ie, reduce in amplitude, due to frictional losses . " See Figure 1"
6. However, both oil mist and oil spray applications can take credit for lower frictional losses and both should be taken into account while performing cost justification analyses.
7. At high speeds, efficiency in both types of engine is reduced by pumping and mechanical frictional losses, and the shorter period within which combustion has to take place.
8. Pipework runs should be kept as short as possible and should be sized for low velocities to keep frictional losses to a minimum, and hence reduce pump energy consumption.
9. Now we don't want the tire flexing much to create the flat contact patch because flexure creates heat through frictional losses and heat shortens the life of the tire.
10. Ericsson's engine also minimizes mechanical losses : the power necessary for compression does not go through crank-bearing frictional losses, but is applied directly from the expansion force.
