Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

This applied thermoscience text covers the basic principles and applications of various types of internal combustion engines. --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

From the Back Cover

This second edition text provides updated and comprehensive coverage of the applied thermodynamic operating principles of the internal combustion engine. The scope of this text includes all IC engines from the largest stationary and ship engines down to the smallest engines used on tools and toys, with an emphasis on reciprocating engines used in automobiles and similar applications. Spark ignition and compression ignition engines are covered, as are engines that operate on four-stroke and two-stroke cycles. The latest automotive technologies are addressed, such as hybrid vehicles, higher voltage electrical systems, electronic valve actuation, and cylinder output. The text covers the fundamentals of fuels, combustion, heat transfer, lubrication, and fluid mechanics as applied in the operation of IC engines. Chapter topics include basic fundamentals, cycles, induction, cylinder flow, combustion, exhaust, and omissions and air pollution.

Features of the Book

Coverage of the latest automotive technologies, including the Miller cycle, variable compression ratios, 42-volt electrical systems, hybrid vehicles, variable valve actuation, cylinder cutout, alternate fuels, and electronic valve control
Photographs, line drawings, and cycle diagrams of many different types and sizes of engines
Many additional worked example problems to emphasize important concepts
Additional review problems at the end of each chapter, including open-ended design problems
Numerical answers to selected review problems
Use of both SI and English units
Additional historical notes
Conversion factors for common engine parameters
Tables of fuel properties, air properties, chemical parameters, and text notation
Expanded reference listing

Excellent book

October 1, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

An excellent book on the fundamentals of the internal combustion engine. Best one I've seen since C.F. Taylor's 2 volume classic (Taylor was my advisor at MIT). If you're looking for a significant discussion of different engine cycles and the mechanical pieces used to make them up, this is a great book to go through. (But for the life of me I cannot understand why they chose a steam locomotive to illustrate the cover)

I searched amazon for ever looking for a good text book on engines for a reasonable price. THIS IS IT! I have gotten a lot of use out of it and learned a lot.

It Was A Required Book

May 8, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

It was a required book for class. It definitely covers the basics but don't expect it to cover more in depth parts of engines, such as supersonic air and nozzles. Maybe they avoid it because that's more specifically for carburetors but they should have had a chapter on it.

I actually received the newer version, which was nice to have, however my professor used problem numbers from the old (shown) version.

Engineering Fundamentals of the Internal Combustion Engine (2nd Edition)

September 29, 2012

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This is one of the best textbooks I have ever owned. It is well worded, understandable, and has a perfect ratio of theory to practical information to examples. IC engines are based on simple concepts, but become more and more complicated as the evolve. This book does a great job of explaining the assumptions that are made and why they are ok to make.
Shipped early and in good condition. Thanks!
