Engineering Fundamentals of the Internal Combustion Engine

Abstract

This book was written to be used as an applied thermoscience textbook in a one- semester, college-level, undergraduate engineering course on internal combustion engines. It provides the material needed for a basic understanding of the operation of internal combustion engines. Students are assumed to have knowledge of funda- mental thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics as a prerequisite to get maximum benefit from the text. This book can also be used for self-study and/or as a reference book in the field of engines.
