Title: Design techniques for engine manifolds
First published: 1999
Description: "This book, together with its companion volume Theory of Engine Manifold Design - Wave Action Methods for IC Engines, reports upon the significant developments that have occurred over the last twenty years and shows how mature the calculation of one-dimensional flow has become. In particular, the volumes show how many of the limitations of the Method of Characteristics can be removed by the application of finite volume techniques, resulting in more accurate simulations and giving the further benefit of more rapid and more robust calculations." "Design Techniques for Engine Manifolds is aimed at practising engineers and students, who wish to get a good understanding of how wave action in the inlet and exhaust manifolds of reciprocating engines affects the performance of the engine."--BOOK JACKET
