Riassunto

"The Elements of Internal-Combustion Engineering" provides a foundational and comprehensive overview of the design, mechanics, and thermodynamic principles governing internal-combustion engines. This technical manual explores the theoretical and practical aspects of various engine types, including gas, oil, and petrol engines, during a pivotal era of industrial growth.

The text delves into the physical laws of thermodynamics, the properties of gaseous fuels, and the mechanical construction required for efficient operation. It serves as a detailed guide to the cycles of operation, the chemistry of combustion, and the cooling and lubrication systems essential to engine performance. By bridging the gap between abstract physics and practical application, the work offers diagrams and calculations that reflect the engineering standards of the early 20th century.

This volume remains a significant resource for students of mechanical engineering and historians of technology. Telford Petrie's clear exposition makes complex mechanical concepts accessible, illustrating the evolution of the engines that powered the modern world.
