1-86058-209-5	PEP	Theory of Engine Manifold Design: Wave Action Methods for IC Engines	D E. Winterborne	2000; 476 Pages; Hard Cover	It has been said that if the cylinder is the heart of the engine, then the manifolds are the lungs. The design of manifolds for internal combustion engines has, therefore, been an important application of unsteady fluid dynamics for many years. Different engine applications require different characteristics, and these can be achieved through the detailed design of manifold. This design is dependent upon being able to calculate the unsteady flow of the compressible gases flowing through the engine. This book, together with its companion volume, Design Techniques for Engine Manifolds - Wave Action Methods for IC Engines, reports the significant developments that have occurred over the last twenty years and shows how mature the calculation of one-dimensional flow has become. In particular the volumes show how the application of finite volume techniques result in more accurate simulations than the "traditional" method of characteristics, and gives further benefit and more robust calculations.	£121.00	1-86058-209-5.jpg	View

1-8605-8203-6	PEP	Tribological Analysis and Design of a Modern Automobile Cam and Follower	By C M Taylor & G Zhu	2001; 176 Pages; Hard Cover	Engineering Research Series 7. Tribological Analysis and Design of a Modern Automobile Cam and Follower is based on extensive research carried out by the Institute of Tribology at the University of Leeds in the UK, in collaboration with the Ford Motor Company Limited. With particular reference to the ZETEC engine, the work encompasses both theoretical and experimental study of the tribological performance of an automobile valve train - having offset taper cam and domed follower, incorporated with a hydraulic lash adjuster. The full account of this ground-breaking research has remained unavailable until now due to commercial sensitivity. A sophisticated theoretical model is developed to predict the tribological performance of the valve train. In addition, the model provides a useful tool when considering tribological design of valve trains. It can be used to estimate the instantaneous and average rotation frequency of the follower, and hence the friction of the contacting pair. Experimental measurements are correlated with theoretical predictions that simulate the test conditions of the valve train. The agreement between measured and predicted values serves to validate the model and provides the reader with great confidence in using this model to deal with novel and alternative designs of valve train.	£76.00	1-8605-8203-6.jpg	View

1-86058-471-3	PEP	Automotive Lubricants Reference Book, Second Edition	Roger Frederick Haycock, Arthur J. Caines and John	2004; 737 Pages; Hard Cover	The automotive lubricants arena has undergone significant changes since the first edition of this book was published in 1996. Environmental concerns have dominated both newspaper headlines and industry board rooms in recent years, with particular attention being given to the improvement of air quality. Reduced emissions are directly related to changes in lubricant specifications and quality, and the second edition of the Automotive Lubricants Reference Book reflects the urgency of these matters by including updated and expanded detail. This second edition also considers the recent phenomenon of increased consolidation within the oil and petroleum additive arenas, which has resulted in fewer people for research, development, and implementation, along with fewer competing companies. Of significant importance is the consideration that a more consolidated oil industry -- in need of greater and longer-term returns on investments -- may be less apt to respond to automobile manufacturers' requirements for rapid specification changes. The Automotive Lubricants Reference Book, Second Edition addresses these and many other important issues by providing a solid foundation to this important element of automotive engineering. Comprehensive and timely, this important publication is an ideal reference for anyone involved in the automotive lubricants industry.
