Abstract:

Supported by an accompanying DVD which incorporates digital versions of the book including animated diagrams and of the author's earlier publications 'Combustion Stoichiometry and Temperatures' (2012) and 'A Young Engineers Guide to Combustion Engines' (2011), this well-illustrated book presents an overview of the different engine propulsion systems and how they work followed by a review of the chemistry and thermodynamic properties of various engine fuel types. The chronological development of aircraft jet fuel specifications, the burning of aviation gasoline in FIDO fog dispersal and other wartime operations, the spelling of kerosine / kerosene, flammability and the calculation of maximum combustion temperature are among other subjects discussed.
