Recent research developments and their application to engine design

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter presents the past two decades of research developments in general fields combustion and fluid mechanics related to reciprocating engines how these have influenced engine design process. In reviewing developments, it has become evident that most significant technological development process is advent microchip revolution created computer associated data acquisition industries. The discusses use sophisticated systems for acquiring led new analysis techniques such as “conditional sampling” allowed cycles similar characteristics. focuses on both old but revitalized development. measurement in-cylinder pressure one oldest commonly used determining quality an concept.
