Engineering Fundamentals of the Internal Combustion EngineThis applied thermoscience book explores the basic principles and applications of various types of internal combustion engines, with a major emphasis on reciprocating engines. KEY TOPICS It covers both spark ignition and compression ignition engines--as well as those operating on four-stroke cycles and on two stroke cycles--ranging in size from small model airplane engines to the larger stationary engines. MARKET: For use as a reference guide in the field of engines, and a basic understanding of the operating of internal combustion engines. |
