Book excerpt: The internal combustion engine was invented around 1790 by various scientists and engineers worldwide. Since then the engines have gone through many modifications and improvements. Today, different applications of engines form a significant technological importance in our everyday lives, leading to the evolution of our modern civilization. The invention of diesel and gasoline engines has definitely changed our lifestyles as well as shaped our priorities. The current engines serve innumerable applications in various types of transportation, in harsh environments, in construction, in diverse industries, and also as back-up power supply systems for hospitals, security departments, and other institutions. However, heavy duty or light duty engines have certain major disadvantages, which are well known to everyone. With the increasing usage of diesel and gasoline engines, and the constantly rising number of vehicles worldwide, the main concern nowadays is engine exhaust emissions. This book looks at basic phenomena related to diesel and gasoline engines, combustion, alternative fuels, exhaust emissions, and mitigations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first half of the Twentieth Century, the new 'horseless' mobility contributed massively to the Affairs of Man. After the Bicycle Craze of the 1890, the motorcycle and automobile gave people freedom to move around at will, lifted rural isolation and made urbanization in the suburbs possible. The same happened when new machines conquered the skies; the Zeppelins and the airplanes connecting continents. And at the base of this mobility revolution was a new invention: the Internal Combustion Engine (IC-Engine). Nineteenth Century tinkerers and thinkers had used the steam engines to experiment with the Power of Combustion in a controlled way. Using new liquid propellants replacing steam, they created step by step a new type engine running on petrol; the IC-Engine. A development trajectory in which many contributed and that culminated around the 1860s when Etienne Lenoir brought those ideas together in one concept. His work inspired others such as Nicolaus Otto who created the four-stroke engine. And when Rudolf Diesel added his version running on heavy oils, the IC-Engine was ready to conquer the world. It started when early bicycles and quadricycles became powered by single-cylinder IC-Engines. By 1885 German engine designs powered the Petroleum Reitwagen (Gottlieb Daimler) and Patent Motorwagen (Carl Benz). These vehicles sparked massive interest in Europe among carriage and bicycle makers, who started improving engine design and vehicle design. Their open automobiles soon hit the country roads and racing tracks. The Second Power Revolution exploded in a tsunami of industrial activity by the turn of the century. Even more when it crossed the Atlantic Ocean, where it was heralded by the bicycle and carriage makers. And it came to obsess the young farmer's boy Henri Ford, who-after some experimenting, racing and business conflicts-constructed his 'famers car' Model T. This was the dawn of the new era that brought mobility to the masses.Additionally, the IC-engine came to power the air-vehicles by the turn of the century. The more after the Wright Brothers made the flyer manoeuvrable, the multi-winged, petrol-powered airplanes developed rapidly. Their flight demonstrations in Europe, excited the masses. The military used the fixed-wing planes as a new tool for reconnaissance and air combat in warfare during the First World War, but civil aviation took over during the following inter-war period. The more when Charles Lindberg crossed the Atlantic in a solo-flight. Next to the multi-engine seaplanes, the airships (aka Zeppelin) travelled the airways between continents. Air carriers offered their regular scheduled services to an ever-increasing number of passengers.And at the core of all this novelty was the IC-engine embarking on a continuous road of improvement into the multi-cylinder power engines. Its application in mobility was complemented by other uses. The IC-engine became the prime mover for powering factories, electricity generation, but also for propelling (war)ships and locomotives. The tractor and harvester changed agricultural practises, increasing food production. It created new manufacturing industries and their employment, stimulated economies and influenced the outcome of wars. The IC-engine powered the Third Industrial Revolution, influencing the Affairs of Man fundamentally during the Era of Mechanization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 120 authors from science and industry have documented this essential resource for students, practitioners, and professionals. Comprehensively covering the development of the internal combustion engine (ICE), the information presented captures expert knowledge and serves as an essential resource that illustrates the latest level of knowledge about engine development. Particular attention is paid toward the most up-to-date theory and practice addressing thermodynamic principles, engine components, fuels, and emissions. Details and data cover classification and characteristics of reciprocating engines, along with fundamentals about diesel and spark ignition internal combustion engines, including insightful perspectives about the history, components, and complexities of the present-day and future IC engines. Chapter highlights include: • Classification of reciprocating engines • Friction and Lubrication • Power, efficiency, fuel consumption • Sensors, actuators, and electronics • Cooling and emissions • Hybrid drive systems Nearly 1,800 illustrations and more than 1,300 bibliographic references provide added value to this extensive study. “Although a large number of technical books deal with certain aspects of the internal combustion engine, there has been no publication until now that covers all of the major aspects of diesel and SI engines.” Dr.-Ing. E. h. Richard van Basshuysen and Professor Dr.-Ing. Fred Schäfer, the editors, “Internal Combustion Engines Handbook: Basics, Components, Systems, and Perpsectives”

This book was released on 1985-03-19 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revised edition of Taylor's classic work on the internal-combustion engine incorporates changes and additions in engine design and control that have been brought on by the world petroleum crisis, the subsequent emphasis on fuel economy, and the legal restraints on air pollution. The fundamentals and the topical organization, however, remain the same. 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. 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.
