Thermodynamic Analysis of Combustion Engines

By Ashley S. Campbell

Intended for a second course in thermodynamics. Explains in detail how the analysis of each engine system can be formulated for a computer program. Examines all present day engines which operate on the internal combustion system, including gas turbines, two-stroke and four-stroke internal combustion engines, both Otto and Diesel cycles, liquid propellant rockets, free piston engines, and powders in guns. Includes chemical equilibrium, explaining how equilibrium compositions in multireaction systems can be calculated. Uses SI units exclusively.
