Engines: An Introduction Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The book begins very simple so beginners can use it. It is not a book a non-techical can easily read. I was looking for some theory about manifold design and the book gave me a good impression of the available methods. Adisadvantage of the book is that it refers to ESP software developed atStanford university. It is meant for instructural purposes but it is notdownloadable from the Stanford university site. Overall I think the book isgood due to the up-todate examples.

Product Description:
The internal combustion engine that powers the modern automobile has changed very little from its initial design of some eighty years ago. Unlike many high tech advances, engine design still depends on an understanding of basic fluid mechanics and thermodynamics. This text offers a fresh approach to the study of engines, with an emphasis on design and on fluid dynamics. Professor Lumley, a renowned fluid dynamicist, provides a lucid explanation of how air and fuel are mixed, how they get into the engine, what happens to them there, and how they get out again. Particular attention is given to the complex issue of pollution. Every chapter includes numerous illustrations and examples and concludes with homework problems. Examples are taken from the early days of engine design, as well as the latest designs, such as stratified charge gasoline direct injection engines. It is intended that the text be used in conjunction with the Stanford Engine Simulation Program (ESP). This user-friendly, interactive software tool answers a significant need not addressed by other texts on engines. Aimed at undergraduate and first-year graduate students, the book will also appeal to hobbyists and car buffs who will appreciate the wealth of illustrations of classic, racing, and modern engines.

Moldflow Design Guide Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The book Moldflow Design Guide is written in support of the logic behind the software application Moldflow.Where the material at times refers to the decision processes of the software, the book has great insight into how plastics are manufactured through the injection molding process.This insight is the basis behind the decisions made by the software, logic the reader can use as well.Through discussion about the design of mold cavities, runners, sprues, flash, bores and screws, as well as the differences in polymers and flow rates one can gain great insight into the processes involved.Where theory can only be carried so far in the real world, this material is a great starting point.

Some use of unexplained industry jargon, can initially cloud the readers understanding until later in the material.I use this book as one of several technical references in writting articles for a free on-line magazine that focuses on plastic polymers and the manufacturing processes [...], sponsored by Precise Mold and Engineering a custom plastic manufacturing company([...]).

Product Description:
The origins of this book not only include the Moldflow Design Principles, but also include Warpage Design Principles published by Moldflow, and C-Mold Design Guide. Collectively, these documents are based on years of experience in the research, theory and practice of injection molding. These documents are now combined into one book the Moldflow Design Guide,. This book is intended to help practicing engineers solve problems they encounter frequently in the design of parts and molds, as well as during production. It can also be used as a reference for training purposes at industrial and educational institutions.
