Analysis of productivity and cost of forestry transportation : Part two: theoretical analysis of the impact of vehicle operating conditions on power losses, and experimental determination of the resistance forces attributable to oil churning
The first part of this report deals with the theory of energy balance of a moving vehicle, which will provide the basis for future investigations taking the form of duty cycle analysis. The second part of the report examines the data of a study of power losses though oil churning in the power transmission system. Results with regular and synthetic oils at different temperatures are given
