This second edition of Richard Stone's popular book draws on thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, materials science and other fields of engineering to produce a highly approachable clear text in this important subject. Topics include lead-free and alternative fuels, the use of ceramics and electronic engine management systems, with additional chapters on 2-stroke engines and computer modelling as well as up-to-date case studies.
The book is written for students interested in the design of classical and novel ICE control systems.
This text, by a leading authority in the field, presents a fundamental and factual development of the science and engineering underlying the design of combustion engines and turbines.
The book first describes internal combustion engines, including rotary, compression, and indirect or spark ignition engines. The publication then discusses basic thermodynamics and gas dynamics.
Clark et al. (1999) measured the transient emissions of a number of blends of Fischer-Tropsch fuel. All of the regulated emissions were lower in comparison with low-sulfur diesel fuel, with 43% lower HC emissions, 39% lower CO, ...
This book provides a logical sequence of steps for the derivation of the relevant equations from first principles, for the more widely used cam mechanisms.
A comparison of engine operation using oxygen‐enriched inlet air may be conducted in a number of ways. Most experimental studies have reported engine ... Another approach is to compare the operation with different sized engines.
Providing a comprehensive introduction to the basics of Internal Combustion Engines, this book is suitable for: Undergraduate-level courses in mechanical engineering, aeronautical engineering, and automobile engineering.
This book is an ideal compact reference for automotive researchers and engineers and graduate engineering students.
Innovative text focusing on engine design and fluid dynamics, with numerous illustrations and a web-based software tool.
This book presents the papers from the Internal Combustion Engines: Performance, fuel economy and emissions held in London, UK. This popular international conference from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers provides a forum for IC ...
