Synopsis

This book presents a modern approach to the study of internal combustion engines! Building upon the foundation of the first edition, the book has been completely revised, with each chapter reorganized and updated. The purpose of the book is to apply the principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer to the analysis of internal combustion engines. The text also features modern web–based computational methods.

Ferguson received his M.S. and Ph.D. (1975) degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.  He taught thermal science courses at Purdue University for twelve years, performing research and publishing in the internal combustion engines area, and is currently living in California. He is an Adjunct Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Colorado State University.

Dr. Allan T. Kirkpatrick, P.E., received his B.S. (1972) and Ph.D. (1981) degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and has been at Colorado State University since 1980. Dr. Kirkpatrick teaches and performs research in the engines and buildings areas. He has received teaching and research awards from Colorado State University, the American Society for Engineering Education, and Sigma Xi. Dr. Kirkpatrick gas worked both in industry and in national laboratories on energy related research. He has published two books, over 75 conference and journal articles, and has one patent, Dr. Kirkpatrick is currently a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Colorado State University.

From the Back Cover

THE PRINCIPLES OF THERMODYNAMICS, FLUID MECHANICS, AND HEAT TRANSFER APPLIED TO INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES.

This completely revised text applies the principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer to internal combustion engines. Every chapter has been reorganized and updated to clearly present current modeling and analysis techniques. The Second Edition includes new material on yhermodynamic modeling, intake and exhaust flow, friction, combustion, alternative fuels, emissions, and instrumentation. The book contains many wordked examples that illustrate important aspects of internal combustion engines.

WHAT′S NEW IN THIS EDITION

•  Up–to–date discussion of new engine technologies exposes readers to current engineering practice.
• Java based applets for computation of engine thermodynamics, friction, and heat transfer are available on the book′s web site.
• Numerous worked examples and homework problems for student assignment.
• Up–to–date literature references in each chapter provide a resource for further study.
• New photos and figures show modern engine components and engine performance.
