About This Book

A practical manual explains the principles of heat and power, types of fuels, and the working cycles of internal- and external-combustion engines, then applies theory to detailed construction, operation, adjustment, and repair of stationary, marine, traction, and automotive engines. It surveys engine layouts, two- and four-stroke cycles, diesel and semi-diesel designs, ignition and carburation systems, lubrication, cooling, speed governors, and burner types, and includes installation advice, indicator-diagram interpretation, troubleshooting tips, and technical diagrams and tables to guide mechanics and engineers in selection, maintenance, and optimization of engines and fuel systems.
