Description for Diesel Engine Transient Operation
Paperback. This is an in-depth and comprehensive analysis of the complex thermodynamic and dynamic phenomena experienced by a diesel engine during load increase, acceleration, cold starting or Transient Cycle, presenting the most important findings in the field. Num Pages: 390 pages, 258 black & white illustrations, 19 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: TGMB; TJFM; TRC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 21. Weight in Grams: 629.
Traditionally, the study of internal combustion engines operation has focused on the steady-state performance. However, the daily driving schedule of automotive and truck engines is inherently related to unsteady conditions. In fact, only a very small portion of a vehicle’s operating pattern is true steady-state, e. g. , when cruising on a motorway. Moreover, the most critical conditions encountered by industrial or marine engines are met during transients too. Unfortunately, the transient operation of turbocharged diesel engines has been associated with slow acceleration rate, hence poor driveability, and overshoot in particulate, gaseous and noise emissions. Despite the relatively large number ... Read more
