Computer Simulation of Sparkignition Engine Processes

Computer simulation of Spark ignition engine processes presents the fundamental theory of SI engine processes along with the governing equations. It provides a simplified framework for the technical literature on SI engines with emphasis on thermodynamics combustion physics and chemistry heat transfer and friction processes. The book includes a software program which will not only serve as a model for simulation but will not only serve as a model for simulation but will also assist students in developing new programs. Salient features A pioneering work on computer simulation of SI engine processes. The only book that gives a computer source code which enables many parametric studies and is at the same time modifiable. Uses step by step approach that helps in better understanding of the complexities of SI engine simulation. Includes several worked out examples and exercises in all chapters. With all the above features the book should be extremely useful to undergraduate and postgraduate students of mechanical engineering. It should also form a reference to research students and practising engineers working related areas. 231 pp.…
