Synopsis

Excerpt from Formulas and Constants for Gas Engine Design

There should be no side pockets (for valves) in the cylinder heads, for the inside surface should be trimmed down to the minimum possi ble. The less internal surface we have exposed to the heat, the smaller the number of heat units that will be absorbed by the metal. What ever is taken into the metal has to be disposed of, either by air or water, which adds to the difficulties of air cooling in the one case, and to the size of the cooling. Apparatus and the amount of water carried in the other. In both cases there is a loss in efficiency, for every heat unit radiated is one heat unit less power delivered at the shaft.
