Engineering Fundamentals of the Internal Combustion Engine by Willard W. Pulkrabek (2003, Hardcover, Subsequent Edition)

Synopsis
With a special focus on reciprocating engines, Engineering Fundamentals of the Internal Combustion Engine by Willard W. Pulkrabek is a thermodynamics book that serves as a reference guide for students in the engineering field. Topics covered in this engineering book include spark ignition, compression ignition, engines that operate on four-stroke, and two-stroke cycles. New automotive technologies like hybrid vehicles, Miller cycles, higher voltage electrical systems, and cylinder output are also discussed in this thermodynamics book. Engineering Fundamentals of the Internal Combustion Engine by Willard W. Pulkrabek contains chapters on induction, cylinder flow, and exhaust. Photographs and diagrams of engines are included in this engineering book so students can better understand the subject.
