Sommario/riassunto

  For a one-semester, undergraduate-level course in Internal Combustion Engines.  This applied thermoscience text explores the basic principles and applications of various types of internal combustion engines, with a major emphasis on reciprocating engines. It covers both spark ignition and compression ignition engines-as well as those operating on four-stroke cycles and on two stroke cycles-ranging in size from small model airplane engines to the larger stationary engines.
