A comprehensive treatment of the basic principles and applications of internal combustion engines, for use as an undergraduate or graduate engineering textbook or professional reference. SI units are used throughout. Inc. Portland, Or. It covers the many types of internal combustion engines, including spark ignition, compression ignition, and stratified charge engines, and examines processes, keeping equations of state simple by assuming constant specific heats.
Equations are limited to heat engines and later applied to combustion engines.
Topics include realistic equations of state, stoichiometry, predictions of chemical equilibrium, engine performance criteria, and friction, which is discussed in terms of the hydrodynamic theory of lubrication and experimental methods such as dimensional analysis. 0262700271 Usually ships promptly. 0079118127 Usually ships promptly.
