Two-Stroke Cycle Engine : Its Development, Operation, and Design, Hardcover by Heywood, John B.; Sher, Eran; Society of Automotive Engineers (COR), ISBN 1560328312, ISBN-13 9781560328315, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK

Summarizing the dispersed literature on the two-stroke cycle form of the internal combustion engine used in everything from chainsaws and motorcycles to marine propulsions and power generation, Heywood (mechanical engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and Sher (mechanical engineering, Ben-Gurion U.) overview the principles, operating characteristics, applications, and history of this widely-used engine concept. They evaluate types of models (gasoline as well as diesel-fueled); review the experimental methods used in development and testing; and address design issues. Illustrated coverage also includes: mathematical models of the scavenging process, combustion, emissions formation and control, and lubrication and wear. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
