Engines : an introduction
"This text offers a fresh approach to the study of engines, with an emphasis on design and on fluid dynamics, a current research area in engine design. Professor Lumley, a renowned fluid dynamicist, provides a lucid explanation of how air and fuel are mixed, how they get into the engine, what happens to them there, and how they get out again. Particular attention is given to the complex issue of pollution. Every chapter includes numerous illustrations and examples and concludes with homework problems. Lending a historical note, design sections begin with the earliest example of the design being described. The latest designs are also treated, including stratified charge gasoline direct injection engines."--Jacket
