Abstract

Now in its fourth edition, *Introduction to Internal Combustion Engines* remains *the* indispensable text to guide you through automotive or mechanical engineering, both at university and beyond. Thoroughly updated, clear, comprehensive and well-illustrated, with a wealth of worked examples and problems, its combination of theory and applied practice is sure to help you understand internal combustion engines, from thermodynamics and combustion to fluid mechanics and materials science. 

*Introduction to Internal Combustion Engines*: 
- Is ideal for students who are following specialist options in internal combustion engines, and also for students at earlier stages in their courses - especially with regard to laboratory work 
- Will be useful to practising engineers for an overview of the subject, or when they are working on particular aspects of internal combustion engines that are new to them 
- Is fully updated including new material on direct injection spark engines, supercharging and renewable fuels 
- Offers a wealth of worked examples and end-of-chapter questions to test your knowledge 
- Has a solutions manual availble online for lecturers at www.palgrave.com/engineering/stone

Abstract

This book brings together the large and scattered body of information on the theory and practice of engine testing, to which any engineer responsible for work of this kind must have access. Engine testing is a fundamental part of development of new engine and powertrain systems, as well as of the modification of existing systems. It forms a significant part of the practical work of many automotive and mechanical engineers, in the auto manufacturing companies, their suppliers suppliers, specialist engineering services organisations, the motor sport sector, hybrid vehicles and tuning sector. The eclectic nature of engine, powertrain, chassis and whole vehicle testing makes this comprehensive book a true must-have reference for those in the automotive industry as well as more advanced students of automotive engineering. 

System integration, specification and project organisation 
The Test Cell as a Thermodynamic System 
Test cell and Control Room design: an overall view 
Ventilation and air conditioning 
Vibration and noise 
Flow systems: fuel, water, and exhaust 
Dynamometers and the measurement of torque 
Electrical design considerationsTest cell control and data acquisition. 
Measurement of fuel consumption 
Coupling the engine to the dynamometer 
Thermal efficiency and measurement of heat losses. 
The Combustion process, combustion analysis and measurement of mechanical losses 
Exhaust emissionsFuels, fuel & lubricant testing and tribology 
Chassis dynamometers 
Computerised test sequences 
Data handling, post test processing and host computer systems 
The pursuit of accuracy

 Engine Testing is a unique, well-organized and comprehensive collection of the different aspects of engine and vehicle testing equipment and infrastructure for anyone involved in facility design and management, physical testing and the maintenance, upgrading and trouble shooting of testing equipment. Designed so that its chapters can all stand alone to be read in sequence or out of order as needed, Engine Testing is also an ideal resource for automotive engineers required to perform testing functions whose jobs do not involve engine testing on a regular basis. This recognized standard reference for the subject is now enhanced with new chapters on hybrid testing, OBD (on-board diagnostics) and sensor signals from modern engines. One of few books dedicated to engine testing and a true, recognized market-leader on the subject Covers all key aspects of this large topic, including test-cell design and setup, data management, and dynamometer selection and use, with new chapters on hybrid testing, OBD (on-board diagnostics) and sensor signals from modern engines Brings together otherwise scattered information on the theory and practice of engine testing into one up-to-date reference for automotive engineers who must refer to such knowledge on a daily basis.
