DESCRIPTION:
These are the basic qualities that have made Taylor's work indispensable to more than one generation of engineers and designers of internal-combustion engines, as well as to teachers and graduate students in the fields of power, internal-combustion engineering, and general machine design.Charles Fayette Taylor is Professor of Automotive Engineering Emeritus at MIT. The analytic rather than merely descriptive treatment of actual engine cycles, the exhaustive studies of air capacity, heat flow, friction, and the effects of cylinder size, and the emphasis on application have been preserved. He directed the Sloan Automotive Laboratories at MIT from 1926 to 1960. This revised edition of Taylor's classic work on the internal-combustion engine incorporates changes and additions in engine design and
"A Tough Act to Follow" according to Edward Schaider. The other reviewers have extolled the engineering strengths of this book so I won't go over old ground yet again. The book has exceeded my expectations in virtually all respects. It is an absolute bedrock foundation in ICEs. It will help you to answer questions you . Bruno said Be aware that the boom does not use international standards for the units.. The book is as good as all reviews here claims but be aware that it is written with English units. It is not a problem but it would be nice to have an edition with the International standards.. "Lots of Thermodynamics" according to Ari Asher. This is the first of two volumes. It deals, mostly, with the Thermodynamic processes. A lot of information, but requires some engineering background. An important textbook to have in your library, if you are interested in the theory of internal combustion engines.Vo
