Design and simulation of four-stroke engines
1 online resource (xxiii, 815 pages) : illustrations, digital file.
This book provides design assistance with the actual mechanical design of an engine in which the gas dynamics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and combustion have been optimized so as to provide the required performance characteristics such as power, torque, fuel consumption, or noise emission.
