High speed internal combustion engine download

With one or two notable exceptions, the subject of high speed internal combustion engines does not appear to have received, in collective publication form, the attention that its more recent rapid development should merit, The writer has attempted, but with no pretence at completeness, to analyse the more important of the available theoretical and experimental results, and to present them to the reader in some kind of order and sequence.

The present volume is intended to form a companion to one upon the subject of high speed internal combustion engine design, so that the prominence given to certain branches of the subject may perhaps be appreciated. The importance and influence of experimental work upon design has been realized, and a chapter upon the methods of measuring the pressures within the cylinder of high speed internal combustion engines has therefore been included.

Although the subject matter in the present work has been carefully checked, it is possible that some slips or errors may have passed unnoticed, and the author would be glad if his attention were drawn to same. In conclusion, the writer would like to take this opportunity of acknowledging the kind assistance rendered by Prof.

THIS book opens with a general discussion on the thermodynamic principles involved in the properties of gases and mixtures of gases, followed by a chapter descriptive of experiments on rates of combustion, etc. Working cycles and the conditions occurring in actual engines are then treated; this section has a useful collection of experimental data on the losses due to different parts of the engine mechanism and to the friction of gases flowing along passages.

A section on pressures and temperatures follows, and has many references to well-known experiments. The remaining two chapters deal with the mechanics of the engine and with balancing.
