Description
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.
