Engineering fundamentals of the internal combustion engine

This textbook covers the basic principles and applications of various types of internal combustion engines. With an emphasis on reciprocating engines, the book covers both spark-ignition and compression-ignition engines, and those operating on four-stroke cycles and on two-stroke cycles, ranging in size from small model airplane engines to the larger stationary engines. The text examines recent advancements, such as Miller cycle analysis, lean burn engines, 2-stroke cycle automobile engines, variable valve timing and thermal storage
