Handbook of Modern Diesel Technology: Professional Methods for Diesel Engines, Heavy Equipment Systems, Hydraulics, Electronic Controls, Diagnostics,
Are you preparing for a diesel technology exam but struggling to connect combustion, fuel injection, turbocharging, electronics, and diagnostics?
Do emissions systems, ECU controls, hydraulics, aftertreatment, and engine calculations start to feel overwhelming when they appear in the same question?
Are you tired of memorizing components and fault codes without fully understanding how the complete diesel system works?
HANDBOOK OF MODERN DIESEL TECHNOLOGY is designed to help you turn complex diesel-engine topics into a clear, practical system you can understand, calculate, diagnose, and apply.
Covering modern diesel engines as complete systems, this handbook takes you from combustion fundamentals and mechanical architecture to fuel injection, turbocharging, emissions control, electronic systems, diagnostics, driveline integration, alternative fuels, and maintenance.
Inside, you will learn how to:
Understand diesel combustion, thermodynamic cycles, IMEP, BMEP, and engine efficiency
Analyze engine architecture, fuel properties, and common-rail injection systems
Work with turbochargers, intercooling, compressor maps, and boost control
Understand NOx, particulate emissions, DPF, SCR, DOC, and aftertreatment systems
Study cooling, lubrication, electronic controls, sensors, CAN communication, and calibration
Apply structured methods to fuel-system, turbocharger, and aftertreatment fault diagnosis
Understand driveline systems, alternative fuels, hybrid diesel technologies, reliability, and predictive maintenance
The handbook combines technical explanations with worked calculations, practice problems, fully worked solutions, and system-level diagnostic reasoning, making it useful both for structured study and long-term reference.
Ideal for advanced diesel technology students, mechanical and power engineering students, technicians, powertrain engineers, and professionals who want a stronger understanding of modern diesel systems.
If you want to move beyond memorizing parts and procedures and start understanding how modern diesel engines operate, interact, fail, and are diagnosed, HANDBOOK OF MODERN DIESEL TECHNOLOGY gives you the practical foundation you need.
