Haynes Motorcycle Workshop Practice Manual John Fidell, Pete Shoemark usually dispatched within 1-2 weeks. 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. Usually dispatched within 24 hours Kevin Cameron is responsible for the monthly editorials in Cycle World, and as such is reknowned as an expert on the pro's and con's of performance modifications. This book contains a wealth of detailed knowledge garnered over years of examination of the motorcycle and all it's moving parts, and perhaps more importantly examines the effects these modifications will have on the rider in various given situations.
