Synopsis

This book addresses the two-stroke cycle internal combustion engine, used in compact, lightweight form in everything from motorcycles to chainsaws to outboard motors, and in large sizes for marine propulsion and power generation. It first provides an overview of the principles, characteristics, applications, and history of the two-stroke cycle engine, followed by descriptions and evaluations of various types of models that have been developed to predict aspects of two-stroke engine operation.

About this title

Synopsis

This book is a comprehensive professional reference on the history, the operating and performance characteristics, and the design of two-stroke cycle engines, presenting a coherent and up-to-date summary of information on this widely used and promising internal combustion engine concept. The book develops a fundamental understanding of the processes essential to the successful operation of the two-stroke cycle engine, and describes and evaluates the various types of models that have been developed to predict aspects of two-stroke engine operation. It reviews and explains the experimental methods that are used in two-stroke engine development and testing. Chapters cover: Overview, Background and History; Gas Exchange Fundamentals; Experimental Methods for Quantifying the Scavenging Process; Mathematical Models of the Scavenging Process; Port, Valve, Intake and Exhaust System Design; Combustion; Emissions Formation and Control; Friction, Lubrication and Wear; and Operating Characteristics of Two-Stroke Engines.
