Engineering Fundamentals Of The Internal Combustion Engine 2

For a one-semester, undergraduate-level course in Internal Combustion Engines. This applied thermoscience text explores the basic principles and applications of various types of internal combustion engines, with a major emphasis on reciprocating engines. 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.

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. An extensive illustration program supports the concepts and theories discussed.

The heat engine where the combustion of a fuel occurs with an oxidizer inside a combustion chamber is known as internal combustion engine. Inside an internal combustion engine, the combustion produces the expansion of the high-temperature and high-pressure gases. This applies direct force to some components of the engine such as turbine blades, pistons, rotor or nozzle. This force moves the components to a distance by transforming chemical energy into mechanical energy. Internal combustion engine can be classified into reciprocating, rotary and continuous combustion. The reciprocating piston engines are the most commonly used engines for land and water vehicles. Rotary engines are used in some aircraft, automobiles and motorcycles. The topics included in this book on internal combustion engine are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. It outlines the processes and applications of such engines in detail. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
