Simon Malcher untersucht den durchgängigen Einsatz von Modellen im Entwicklungsprozess von Motorsport-Motoren. Dabei werden die Entwicklungsphasen tiefergehend analysiert, um die Modellanforderungen abzuleiten und eine übergreifende Modellarchitektur zu entwickeln. Mit beispielh…
Over the course of 15 years, author Mark Wegman researched original railroad company drawings, records, and even paint chips to render 180 color profiles, front view, top views, and interior layouts representing the steam, diesel, and electric locomotives and the passenger cars …
The text describes the main features of currently available heat pumps, focusing on system operation and interactions with external heat sources. In fact, before choosing a heat pump, several aspects must be assessed in detail: the actual climate of the installation site, the bu…
The call for environmentally compatible and economical vehicles necessitates immense efforts to develop innovative engine concepts. Technical concepts such as gasoline direct injection helped to save fuel up to 20 % and reduce CO2-emissions. Descriptions of the cylinder-charge c…
This book reports on a novel approach for generating mechanical energy from different, external heat sources using the body of a typical piston engine with valves. By presenting simple yet effective numerical models, the authors show how this new approach, which combines existin…

Die immer weiter steigenden Anforderungen an Verbrennungsmotoren machen auch vor dessen Herzstück - dem Kolben - nicht Halt. Für weniger Gewicht, Reibung oder auch noch mehr Verschleißfestigkeit sind tiefe Kenntnisse über die innermotorischen Prozesse sowie die geeigneten Werkst…
This book offers a comprehensive and timely overview of internal combustion engines for use in marine environments. It reviews the development of modern four-stroke marine engines, gas and gas-diesel engines and low-speed two-stroke crosshead engines, describing their applicatio…
This textbook on Fundamentals of Gas Dynamics will help students with a background in mechanical and/or aerospace engineering and practicing engineers working in the areas of aerospace propulsion and gas dynamics by providing a rigorous examination of most practical engineering …
This volume presents selected papers presented during the National Aerospace Propulsion Conference (NAPC) held at Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. It brings together contributions from the entire propulsion community, spanning air-breathing and non-air-breathing propuls…
