5.0 out of 5 stars
A really scientific approach to the engine practice,
By Alexei (France, Grenoble) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Internal Combustion Engine Fundamentals (Hardcover)
This book is my Bible. It does not explain you how to add 2HP to the engine, it explains how all that works and why, with theory, numbers and serious real world tests.You may be interested in the theory: you'll find all you need to understand more detailled research papers. You don't need theory: you may simply trust very comprehensive and clear conclusions which explain with figures and numbers how thinks work. The book covers Spark Ignited and Diesel engines, indirect and direct injected. The book does not cover recent works on high speed SI (like Honda VTEC) and turbo-diesel engines, as well the indirect injected stratified combustion engines.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Good solid book,
By Dan (Winnipeg, MB) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Internal Combustion Engine Fundamentals (Hardcover)
I'm not a mechanical engineer and I have been able to follow the book well. It goes really in depth in some places, so you have to know when to skip a few pages. But it is fine for a final year undergrad course, and I'm sure it would work for a grad course as well, but if you don't have a good math and science background (ie engineering), then just research www.howstuffworks.com and then subscribe to a few car magazines. There is a lot of practical info in here as well, but don't kid yourself, most of this is theoretical backround. I am an electrical engineer who wanted to get into hybrid vehicles, and I think if you are like me and want to just buy one book on ICEs, this is it.

the Bible for engine related study and research,
By zhangyt (Cambridge, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Internal Combustion Engine Fundamentals (Hardcover)
almost all the areas concerning internal combustion engines are covered in proper detail. it is useful for related undergrad and grad studies, also an indispensable reference for grad research work in engine technologies.
