Engineering fundamentals of the internal combustion engine / Willard W. Pulkrabek, University of Wisconsin - Platteville - Second edition - xxiii, 478 pages ; illustrations (black and white) ; 24 cm
Includes bibliographical references (pages 448-459) and index
1. Introduction -- 2. Operating Characteristics -- 3. Engine Cycles -- 4. Thermochemistry and Fuels-- 5. Air and Fuel Induction -- 6. Fluid Motion within Combustion Chamber -- 7. Combustion -- 8. Exhaust Flow -- 9. Emissions and Air Pollution -- 10. Heat Transfer in Engines -- 11. Friction and Lubrication -- Appendix -- References -- Answers to Selected Review Problems -- Index
This applied thermoscience book covers the basic principles and applications of various types of internal combustion engines. Explores the fundamentals of most types of internal combustion engines with a major emphasis on reciprocating engines. 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. Examines recent advancements, such as, Miller cycle analysis, lean burn engines, 2-stroke cycle automobile engines, variable valve timing, and thermal storage.
