About this book
The Petrol Engine: A Text-book dealing with the Principles of Design and Construction, with a Special Chapter on the Two-stroke Engine is a comprehensive and authoritative guide to the inner workings, design, and construction of petrol engines, written for students, engineers, and enthusiasts of mechanical engineering. This classic text delves deeply into the fundamental principles that govern the operation of petrol engines, offering clear explanations of thermodynamics, combustion, mechanical design, and the various components that make up these complex machines. The book covers the history and evolution of the petrol engine, providing context for its development and widespread adoption in transportation and industry. Detailed chapters explore the construction and function of essential parts such as cylinders, pistons, crankshafts, valves, carburetors, ignition systems, and cooling mechanisms. The author emphasizes practical aspects of engine design, including material selection, manufacturing techniques, and maintenance considerations, making the book a valuable resource for both theoretical study and hands-on application. Special attention is given to the two-stroke engine, with a dedicated chapter that explains its unique operating cycle, advantages, challenges, and typical uses compared to the more common four-stroke engine. Illustrated with technical diagrams, cross-sections, and tables, the book aids in visualizing complex concepts and mechanical relationships. It also addresses common problems encountered in engine operation, troubleshooting methods, and recent advancements in engine technology as of its time of writing. Whether used as a textbook for formal education or as a reference for professional engineers and hobbyists, The Petrol Engine remains a foundational work that illuminates the science and art of internal combustion engine design.
