Fundamentals of Diesel Engine (Questions and Answers)

Abstract

The present reference book is a compilation of questions on diesel engines and answers given to these problems during my term as an instructor of Marine Engineering at the Training Department, SEAFDEC, from 1979 to 1982. The number of trainees over that period reached almost one hundred both in the joint Fishing and Marine Engineering Course and the Regional Course for Fisheries Extension Officers. A great many engineering questions were dealt with, ranging from relatively easy to sophisticated problems. From among these problems I have selected only those relating to the fundamental principles of the diesel engine and concentrated on the more important aspects so that these may be fully understood. Easier problems whose solution can be found mathematically according to formulas have also been included.
