The new tried and tested method of determining passive resistances by motoring ICE with high working pressures in the cylinders is based on blowing doses of compressed air into the cylinders around BDC with special self-acting valves. When motoring with the new method, the same course of pressures in the cylinders and the same load on the crank mechanism, including the piston group, is achieved during combustion. The measurement proved the problem-free functionality of the self-acting valves, and the conducted experiments provided data on the dependence of mechanical and heat losses in the ICE on the working pressures in the cylinder.","PeriodicalId":445896,"journal":{"name":"Strojnícky časopis - Journal of Mechanical Engineering","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127406909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The second part of the work is devoted to the description of experimental equipment and work procedure. The last part of the paper presents the results of the experiment and their evaluation. The reason for this experiment was the assumption that the moisture of the raw material significantly affects the compression process and the mechanical strength of the tablet.
