Book Description | The presentation of the material is based on the classical method of theoretical analysis of the processes characterising an actual cycle, the kinematics and dynamics of a crank gear and the design of individual units and parts with a view to an alternating load.The fundamentals of the theory are set out as applied to spark-ignition (mainly carburettor) and compression-ignition (diesel) engines.The book describes the typical features of the processes taking place in each of these types of engines within a broad range of speeds and loads. The data used in the analysis of separate processes has been obtained from tests of up-to-date high-speed engines.In connection with the introduction of the SI system of units, engine parameters have been computed in this system. Since the measuring apparatus used in testing engines is graduated in the old units and the latter are widely used in engineering calculations, the final expressions of equations are given both in SI and old units.The book is divided into Three parts - Theory of Engine, Dynamic of Crank Gear and Balancing of Engine, and Construction and Design of Engine.Salient Features:This book is suited for everyone including undergraduate and postgraduate student, as well as faculty,The language of book is easy to understand and content is written in continuity, making the reader more comfortable in moving from one topic to another,The book provides concise and effective discussion on included content,The book has development of the subject from basic to advanced levels,The book also provides supporting data in the form of illustrations, tables and reactions so as to make the topic easy to understand,Each part of the book has subsections or chapters. |
