Thermodynamics, combustion and engines

This book presents a thorough study of a single area of application - internal combustion engines.

It breaks new ground by using engines as the means of explaining thermodynamics and combustion processes and it offers a constructive mix of basic engineering science with a "real world" application.

The book is intended to provide a background for engine design, analysis and modelling.This book should be of interest to intermediate and senior undergraduate and early postgraduate students of mechanical engineering on thermodynamics or fluid mechanics courses.
