Principles Of Engine Cooling Systems Components And Maintenance

This book is the most comprehensive source of information and basic understanding on the engine cooling system available to the general public. It discusses the cooling system and its components, functional aspects, performance, heat transfer from the combustion gas to the engine mass for different and engine speed and load conditions, heat rejection vs. load and displacement, and the manner in which the system manages the heat rejection to the cooling air to maintain engine operating temperatures for all weather and operating conditions. It will give you a complete perspective on the engine cooling systems in a few hours.The book has 147 easy to read pages, with 175 graphs, illustrations and photographs, many in color. For those with deeper interests, a CD is included, with 3 Handbooks covering the Fundamentals of Fluid Flow, Heat Transfer and Thermodynamics.

Fundamentals of Automotive Technology: Principles and Practice covers crucial material for career and technical education, secondary/post-secondary, and community college students and provides both rationales and step-by-step instructions for virtually every non-diagnosis NATEF task. Each section provides a comprehensive overview of a key topic area, with real-life problem scenarios that encourage students to develop connections between different skill and knowledge components. Customer service, safety, and math, science, and literary principles are demonstrated throughout the text to build student skill levels. Chapters are linked via cross-reference tools that support skill retention, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Students are regularly reminded that people skills are as important as technical skills in customer service fields.

Designed to prepare new technicians for ASE G1 Certification, Fundamentals of Automotive Maintenance and Light Repair, Second Edition covers the foundational theory and skills necessary to prepare entry-level technicians to maintain and repair today's light duty vehicles.
