Abstract

The book is on design of diesel engines. The engine design is motivated by advanced emission standards, and yearning for fuel economy as well as downsizing to achieve light weight. The book develops the subject gradually by discussing various topics so that it is useful to a practising engineer and a student intending to develop a career in engine design. The book is broadly divided into five parts after introduction. The introduction chapter summarises the book after giving some thoughts on estimating the power, maximum torque and shape of the torque curve to satisfy vehicles on- and off-road.
