Internal Combustion Engines

Internal Combustion Engines is a textbook designed for the students of mechanical and allied engineering programmes to help them understand the principles, working, and performance of various IC engines. Beginning with the thermodynamic cycles, the discussion moves onto combustion mechanism, fuels and systems, ignition system, friction and lubrication, and cooling auxiliaries. This is followed by chapters on two-stroke engines, superchargers and turbochargers, air pollution control, and testing and performance. The last chapter deals with the dynamics of exhaust and fresh charge for successive cycles in gas exchange systems. Key Features Discusses electronic fuel injection systems such as MPFI, GDI, and CRDI as well as air-assisted fuel injection system.
