The Internal Combustion Engine in Theory and Practice: Vol. 1 - 2nd Edition, Revised: Thermodynamics, Fluid Flow, Performance

The book is as good as all reviews here claims but be aware that it is written with English units. It is not a problem but it would be nice to have an edition with the International standards.

Volume 1 versus Volume 2Volume 2 often contained references that were based on criteria explained and listed in Vol 1.It was a natural choice to to obtain Volume 1 to understand the many of the complexities contained in Vol 2A Great Read!

This is the first book of a two-book set of CF Taylor's masterful presentation of the state of internal combustion engine technology at the time of publishing. Taylor is considered one of the gurus of field.

You need to be a engineer to read it, however there's graphs and tables that are reasonably self explanatory.

This book is packed full of information that provides a wealth of knowledge of the internal combustion engine.

interesting

Good for its time, but very dated. Heywood is far superior and more readable. Perhaps ok as a reference, but not very current in 2014.

Just the book I was looking for. Makes a great team with Heywood's book

This book is in lines of the Bosch Automotive Handbook. Lots of formulas, hardcore theory, useful (and not-so-useful) graphs, and practical examples with detailed explanation as to how one arrives at the solution.Invaluable resource for anyone seriously interested in automotive engineering.

エンジンについての基礎的な重要事項が網羅されており、初心者にとっては必須であると思われる。
