Preface
This fourth edition builds upon the foundation established by the three previous editions (1986, 1999, 2014) of this internal combustion engines textbook. For over thirty years, these editions have documented the continuing development of the internal combustion engine and the increased use of digital computation for analysis and design of engines. The editions have demonstrated the application of the principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer to internal combustion engines, and reflected the changing balance between engineering analysis and numerical computation in improving our understanding of internal combustion engine performance. However, a note of caution should be sounded. As the capability of computers increase, there can be a temptation to rely exclusively on numerical computation. Engineering insight is also required. It is a sense of ‘a feel for the answer’, and is developed through engineering analysis and modeling.
The major focus of this fourth edition has been incorporating a time variable, i.e., engine rpm, into the engine analysis. The content additions include chemical equilibrium, chemical kinetics of reacting fuel‐air mixtures, incorporation of valve events into an energy release model, diesel spray penetration and evaporation, analysis of compressor and turbine fluid flow, expanded coverage of alternative fuels, piston ring and crankshaft bearing friction, heat transfer, gaseous emissions, soot, and exhaust gas analysis. The chapter organization remains the same as that of the third edition. The homework problems have increased in number and topics covered.
Since it is a standard in most engineering colleges and in industry, the programming software MATLAB® has been retained for the examples and homework problems, and listings of all computer codes are given in the Appendix. The computer codes have been expanded to allow comparison of valve timing and flow, friction and heat transfer models. There are now 26 programs included in the fourth edition, up from 17 programs in the third edition. Digital copies of the computer programs are also available from the author ([email protected]) and the John Wiley web site.
The text is designed for a one‐semester course in internal combustion engines at the senior undergraduate or beginning graduate level. At Colorado State University, this text is used for a single term course in internal combustion engines. The course meets for a lecture two times per week and a recitation/laboratory once a week, for a term of fifteen weeks.
Acknowledgements
It should be noted that Colin Ferguson, the author of the first edition of the engines book in 1986, has retired. Colin should be recognized for this significant contribution to engines education. Thanks are due to Professors Alex Taylor, Stelios Rigopoulos, Aaron Costall, and Yannis Hardalupas at Imperial College in London, England for providing a collegial and stimulating environment during my recent stay there. Professor Joshua Keena at West Point Military Academy suggested improvements in friction modeling.
Discussions with Colorado State Professors Daniel Olsen and Anthony Marchese on combustion modeling also have been very helpful. Former CSU graduate students Aron Dobos and Richard Wagner deserve a heartfelt thanks for their contributions to the computational elements of the combustion and friction chapters, respectively.
Many thanks to the editorial staff at John Wiley & Sons, Inc. for their work on the fourth edition. Ms. Anne Hunt and Mr. Steve Fassioms deserve special acknowledgement for their editorial assistance with this project. I would like to thank my wife Susan and my extended family: Anne, Matt, Maeve, Michael, Rob, Kristin, Thomson, Charlotte, and Theo for their unflagging support while this fourth edition was being written.
Finally, this edition is dedicated to my late father, Edward T. Kirkpatrick, who sparked my interest in engines and engineering years ago.
