This revised edition of Taylor's classic work on the internal-combustion engineincorporates changes and additions in engine design and control that have been brought on by theworld petroleum crisis, the subsequent emphasis on fuel economy, and the legal restraints on airpollution.The fundamentals and the topical organization, however, remain the same. The analyticrather than merely descriptive treatment of actual engine cycles, the exhaustive studies of aircapacity, heat flow, friction, and the effects of cylinder size, and the emphasis on applicationhave been preserved. These are the basic qualities that have made Taylor's work indispensable tomore than one generation of engineers and designers of internal-combustion engines, as well as toteachers and graduate students in the fields of power, internal-combustion engineering, and generalmachine design.Charles Fayette Taylor is Professor of Automotive Engineering Emeritus at MIT. Hedirected the Sloan Automotive Laboratories at MIT from 1926 to 1960
