Detailed equations for mean effective pressure, torque, and power output.
Focuses on the flow of air and fuel through manifolds and valves. Volume 2: Combustion, Fuels, Materials, Design Internal-Combustion Engine in Theory and Practi...
The work is split into two distinct volumes to cover the breadth of the subject: Volume 1: Thermodynamics, Fluid Flow, Performance Detailed equations for mean effective pressure, torque, and
Volume 2 focuses heavily on combustion stoichiometry, fuel-air mixtures, and materials. The "Theory" vs. The "Practice" Detailed equations for mean effective pressure
Uses quantitative data to guide designers, rather than just qualitative advice.
Taylor’s approach is unique because it moves beyond simple descriptions of parts to provide a deep mathematical and thermodynamic analysis of how engines function.
Compares theoretical Otto and Diesel cycles to what actually happens inside a cylinder.
