Critical Component Wear in Heavy Duty Engines

Description: Critical Component Wear in Heavy Duty Engines [Hardcover] Lakshminarayanan, P. A. and Nayak, Nagaraj S. Product Overview The critical parts of a heavy duty engine are theoretically designed for infinite life without mechanical fatigue failure. Yet the life of an engine is in reality determined by wear of the critical parts. Even if an engine is designed and built to have normal wear life, abnormal wear takes place either due to special working conditions or increased loading. Understanding abnormal and normal wear enables the engineer to control the external conditions leading to premature wear, or to design the critical parts that have longer wear life and hence lower costs. The literature on wear phenomenon related to engines is scattered in numerous periodicals and books. For the first time, Lakshminarayanan and Nayak bring the tribological aspects of different critical engine components together in one volume, covering key components like the liner, piston, rings, valve, valve train and bearings, with methods to identify and quantify wear. The first book to combine solutions to critical component wear in one volumePresents real world case studies with suitable mathematical models for earth movers, power generators, and sea going vesselsIncludes material from researchers at Schaeffer Manufacturing (USA), Tekniker (Spain), Fuchs (Germany), BAM (Germany), Kirloskar Oil Engines Ltd (India) and Tarabusi (Spain)Wear simulations and calculations included in the appendicesInstructor presentations slides with book figures available from the companion site Critical Component Wear in Heavy Duty Engines is aimed at postgraduates in automotive engineering, engine design, tribology, combustion and practitioners involved in engine R&D for applications such as commercial vehicles, cars, stationary engines (for generators, pumps, etc.), boats and ships. This book is also a key reference for senior undergraduates looking to move onto advanced study in the above topics, consultants and product mangers in industry, as well as engineers involved in design of furnaces, gas turbines, and rocket combustion.Companion website for the book: Read more Details Publisher ‏ : ‎ Wiley; 1st edition (October 4, 2011) Language ‏ : ‎ English Hardcover ‏ : ‎ 352 pages ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 047082882X ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 23 Item Weight ‏ : ‎ 1.78 pounds Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 6.85 x 1.05 x 9.9 inches Best Sellers Rank: #8,894,446 in Books (See Top 100 in Books) #2,460 in Machinery Engineering (Books) #6,611 in Mechanical Engineering (Books) #86,743 in Professional #2,460 in Machinery Engineering (Books) #6,611 in Mechanical Engineering (Books) Quality Products This will be shipped securely Returns must be within 30 days - item EXACTLY as it was sent.
