Internal Combustion Engines

This work presents an energetic approach to the performance analysis of internal combustion engines, seen as attractive applications of the principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and energy transfer. Mathematical models for these processes are discussed. It contains a broadly based and extensive review of the fundamental principles which govern internal combustion engine design and operation. It attempts to provide a simplifying framework for the vast and complex mass of technical material that  now exists on spark-ignition and compression- ignition engines, and at the same time to include sufficient detail to convey the real world dimensions of this pragmatic engineering field.
