About this Item

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The main point represents mixture formation for spark ignition engines, with regard to the basic principles as well as the design and construction of carburettors, injection systems and intake manifolds. In addition, the appertaining measuring techniques are also discussed. The basic principles of combustion are discussed to such an extent that is necessary to understand the effects of mixture formation. The book should provide an overall insight on the state of the art, as well as complete information for the industrial engineer, scientific and university students. Even after more than 100 years since the invention of the spark ignition engine, research is still intensively undertaken in this field, and great progress has been achieved. In this book ca. 400 literature references from all over the world have been taken into consideraton.

About this title

Synopsis

Twentyfour years have gone by since the publication of K. Lohner and H. MOiler's comprehen­ sive work "Gemischbildung und Verbrennung im Ottomotor" in 1967 [1.1]. Naturally, the field of mixture formation and combustion in the spark-ignition engine has wit­ nessed great technological advances and many new findings in the intervening years, so that the time seemed ripe for presenting a summary of recent research and developments. There­ fore, I gladly took up the suggestion of the editors of this series of books, Professor Dr. H. List and Professor Dr. A. Pischinger, to write a book summarizing the present state of the art. A center of activity of the Institute of Internal-Combustion Engines and Automotive Engineering at the Vienna Technical University, which I am heading, is the field of mixture formation -there­ fore, many new results that have been achieved in this area in collaboration with the respective industry have been included in this volume. The basic principles of combustion are discussed only to that extent which seemed necessary for an understanding of the effects of mixture formation. The focal point of this volume is the mixture formation in spark-ignition engines, covering both the theory and actual design of the mixture formation units and appropriate intake manifolds. Also, the related measurement technology is explained in this work.
