About this title

Synopsis

This book provides design assistance with the actual mechanical design of an engine in which the gas dynamics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and combustion have been optimized so as to provide the required performance characteristics of power, or torque, or fuel consumption, or noise emission. Many engines (including a number of famous ones) are used as design examples and analyzed. Featuring much practical design guidance not found in other books, 'Design and Simulation of Four-Stroke Engines' begins by providing comprehensive coverage of the fundamentals of engine design and development, ranging from mechanical principles to engine testing and the thermodynamics of engine cycles. A major section provides readers with a fundamental understanding of unsteady gas dynamics. While the majority of the book is devoted to the design of the spark-ignition engine, there is also comprehensive treatment of the diesel or compression-ignition engine. (Also available R-186 Software and R-186M - engine simulation model)
