The Gas-Engine a Treatise on the Internal-Combustion Engine Using Gas: Gasoline, Kerosene, Alcohol, or Other Hydrocarbon as Source of Energy (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Explore how fuel choice, carburetion, and conditions of operation shape engine efficiency and running costs.
This edition explains the practical side of the gas-engine, focusing on fuel cost, heat units, and how different fuels perform in real machines. It covers how air temperature, humidity, and carburetor design influence mixture quality and engine behavior, especially under varying loads and speeds.
Readers will gain a grounded view of how to compare engines by fuel expense per unit of power, and how features like automatic air valves and twin carburetors aid reliable, efficient operation without sacrificing performance.
- How fuel quality, calorific power, and efficiency affect cost per horsepower-hour.
- Key carburetion concepts that stabilize mixtures across speed and load changes.
- Practical considerations for heat control, air heating, and mixture regulation.
- Real-world implications for stationary, automotive, and large-scale gas-engines.
Ideal for readers interested in practical engineering, engine economics, and the design and operation of gas-powered motors.
