Good... expect a lot of control theory, October 12, 2008
This review is from: Introduction to Modeling and Control of Internal Combustion Engine Systems (Hardcover)
To take full advantage of this book you need a good background in control theory (mandatory!) and mechanics. The book has excellent information about the variables, approximations and all the stuff relating to gasoline and diesel engines. If you need a more in depth understanding of the principles sometimes explained superficially in "tunning engines books", this is the literature you need, but please have close to you a "mechanics for dummies" in case you get lost with the formulas.
This book has some references to an ECU's software guidelines but no program example is presented.
The drawbacks: in some figures the letters are missing or misplaced making them a quiz.

Missing pages and subscript, August 14, 2008
This review is from: Introduction to Modeling and Control of Internal Combustion Engine Systems (Hardcover)
I bought this book because this is a text book for my degree course
I noticed there are missing subscript on the one figure.
My instructor allowed me to compare his book and my book, the what I found are,
1. Page 61 and page 62 is missing.
2. Missing subscript on (31) figures.
I recommend you to check the book right away after receving the book.
Amazon, could you send me the good one to me?
I know it had already passed one month after my receving the book, but the book is a bad one.
