DESCRIPTION:
It feels to me like a competent view looking BACKWARD without a particularly open I found the text to be very competently presented. But I was hoping author Kevin might have spent more time/space describing non-conventional engine designs that could power future vehicles rather than just engine designs which have already captured market share. Not even a mention in this presentation about piston engines with non-conventional crankshaft/rod configurations or crankshaft replacements or 6-cycle engines which may lower BSFC or non-poppet valv. Waay too expensive for what it is K. Whipple It's an ok book, but very thin for the price. I missed that it's only 200 pages.Way more in much greater detail for the same money is BOTH volumes of "The Internal Combustion Engine in Theory and Practice by Charles Fayette TaylorOtherwise a fine book.. Aaron said Very short for the cost. This book is very thin and short for what it cost. I was expecting at least a Very short for the cost This book is very thin and short for what it cost. I was expecting at least a 300-page textbook for what I paid.. 00-page textbook for what I paid.
The majority of these courses today emphasize the application of thermodynamics to engine ef?ciency, performance, combustion, and emissions. It is of necessity an overview. It is intended to provide basic information and most of the chapters include recent references to guide more in-depth study.. In doing so it becomes quickly apparent that no suitable te- book exists in support of such courses. Emphasis is speci?cally on automobile engines, although much of the discussion applies to larger and smaller engines as well. My colleagues and I have undertaken the development of a series of graduate courses in engine design and mechanical development. University studies should include opportunities that prepare engineers desiring to work in these aspects of engine development as well. A further intent of this book is to provide a concise reference volume on engine design and mechanical development processes for engineers serving the engine industry. The mechanical engineering curriculum in most universities includes at least one elective course on the subject of reciprocating piston engines. Its focus is limited to reciprocating-piston internal-combustion engines – both diesel and spa- ignition engines. This book was written in the hopes of beginning to address the need for an engineering-based introductory text in engine design and mechanical development. However, in most companies engaged in engine development there are far more engineers working in the areas of desi
