Discover how internal forces drive reciprocating engines and how design choices influence turning power.
This book examines the forces acting on the crank-pin and how the connecting-rod angle, piston motion, and fly-wheel design shape engine performance. It explains graphical methods to visualize tangential and radial efforts and shows how acceleration and deceleration affect the system.
The discussion focuses on horizontal engines, with practical notes on how the theory transfers to vertical setups. It covers calculating the tangential effort, interpreting indicator diagrams, and combining diagrams for multi‑cylinder engines. Readers will learn how short connecting-rods or high speeds change the forces that the crank and shaft must withstand, and how to use these ideas to improve reliability and efficiency.
- How crank-pin forces and connecting-rod angles modify tangential efforts over a cycle
- Using indicator diagrams and radial diagrams to visualize engine forces
- How acceleration and retardation of reciprocating parts affect required pressures
- Practical guidance for designing with light parts and appropriate speeds
Ideal for readers of engineering texts who want a clear, diagram-based view of engine dynamics.

Store description
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
