Engineering Fundamentals of the Internal Combustion Engine notes

The fundamental ideas and concepts related to heat engines, a crucial subject in the Heat Engine course for Mechanical Engineering majors, are covered in Chapter 2 of "Engineering Fundamentals of the Internal Combustion Engine" by Willard W. Pulkrabek. The key equations that constitute the basis of heat engine theory are briefly yet thoroughly summarized in this chapter. The chapter also explores the idea of efficiency in relation to heat engines, covering both thermal efficiency and overal...
