Title: Design and Applications in Diesel Engineering.

Format: English-language hardcover volume in the Ellis Horwood Series in Engineering Science, published by Ellis Horwood Limited, Chichester, and distributed by Halsted Press, a division of John Wiley & Sons.

Publication details: first published in 1984; typeset by Ellis Horwood Limited and printed in Great Britain by The Camelot Press, Southampton.

Genre and topic: engineering and technology; mechanical and automotive engineering; diesel engine design; civil and mechanical engineering applications; transportation power units.

Contents and structure: chapters cover basics of high-speed diesel design (engine cycles, combustion systems, thermal stresses, timing drives, cylinder head and gasket, current developments), detailed design of high-speed diesel engines, the passenger-car diesel engine with discussion of fuel economy, gaseous emissions, drivability and noise, deformation and stress analysis of engine components, finite element applications in stressing diesel engine structures, crankshaft loading and bearing performance, combustion noise in automotive diesels, and mechanically induced noise and vibration.

Approach and features: combines theoretical analysis with practical design guidance, including treatment of engine performance, emissions control, durability, structural integrity, noise, vibration and harshness issues, and future trends in light-duty and passenger-car diesel technology.

Illustrations: includes numerous black-and-white engineering diagrams, schematics, graphs, tables and line drawings showing diesel engine layouts, components, stress distributions, lubrication systems, combustion characteristics and vibration behaviour.

Intended audience: advanced engineering students, practising mechanical and automotive engineers, researchers and designers concerned with diesel engines, finite element analysis and the performance and refinement of road-vehicle power units.
