Engine Technology - Engine Test Rigs, Combustion & Performance

by Andrew Greaney

Most engine technology are difficult to read, use jargon and waffle on subjects that are not useful to the reader. The book aims to give the reader knowledge around engine technology and engine testing focused within a motorsport environment. The reader is given useful information and a deep understand behind engine rig test instrumentation, engine combustion analysis and engine performance analysis. Subjects explored include pressure, heat release, mass faction burnt (MFB), indicated power, indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP), thermal efficiency, indicated specific fuel consumption (ISFC), brake power, brake mean effective pressure (BMEP), brake thermal efficiency, brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) and mechanical efficiency. All these include graphs with detail behind the results. Containing useful references for more background reading if desired, this book is your one stop shop on covering engine rig test results on an engine!
