About this book

This second edition of Richard Stone's popular book draws on thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, materials science and other fields of engineering to produce a highly approachable clear text in this important subject. Topics include lead-free and alternative fuels, the use of ceramics and electronic engine management systems, with additional chapters on 2-stroke engines and computer modelling as well as up-to-date case studies.

About the author

Prior to his current post, Richard was at Brunel University where he established the engine research activity with Nicos Ladommatos. His research interests concern laminar combustion and internal combustion engines, which has often been in close collaboration with companies such as BP, Shell, Ford, and Jaguar Land Rover. Over the last 10 years a particular interest has been the emissions of particulate matter from Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engines.
