Sinopsis
A practical guide to diesel engine design, drawn from years of hands-on experience. This book presents core principles with concrete, real‑world guidance, useful to designers, draughtsmen, students, and users alike. It focuses on general ideas and how they apply across common engine types, rather than on every recent novelty.
From the basics of the Diesel cycle to the details of frames, crank-cases, cylinders, and fuel systems, the text aims to illuminate the choices engineers face in designing reliable, efficient engines. It emphasizes practical considerations, clear explanations, and examples of sound modern practice that readers can apply in real projects.
- Explains four-stroke and two-stroke operation, with emphasis on design implications
- Addresses frameworks, crank-shafts, crank-cases, and cylinder assemblies
- Discusses efficiency, heat, and fuel systems in practical terms
- Offers guidance on manufacturing, maintenance, and reliability considerations
Ideal for readers of technical engineering and marine diesel design who want solid, applicable knowledge without excessive theory.

It should further be remembered that the existence of a period of combustion at constant pressure is no guarantee that all the combustion takes place at that pressure. This ideal is never realised. Combustion probably proceeds slowly well after half stroke, even under the most favourable conditions.

Excerpt from Diesel Engine Design
This book is based on about twelve years' experience of Diesel Engines, mainly from the drawing-office point of view, and is intended to present an account of the main considerations which control the design of these engines.
The author ventures to hope that, in addition to designers and draughtsmen, to whom such a book as this is most naturally addressed, there may be other classes of readers - for example, Diesel Engine users and technical students - to whom the following pages may be of interest.
The text deals mainly with general principles as exemplified by examples of good modem practice, and it has not been possible to notice every constructional novelty. Apology is perhaps called for on account of the omission of any special treatment of the stepped piston and the opposed piston types of engine. These, however, are the specialities of a comparatively limited number of manufacturers, and have been very fully described and illustrated in the technical press.
The existence in its fourth edition of Chalkley's well-known book on The Diesel Engine for Land and Marine Purposes has enabled the present writer to proceed to details with a minimum of preliminary discussion. A number of references to other books and papers have been inserted in order to avoid, so far as possible, overlapping with other sources of information.
The author has pleasure in acknowledging his indebtedness to: Mr. P. H. Smith (who has at all times placed his unique experience of Diesel Engines at the disposal of the author) for several corrections and suggestions; to Mr. L. Johnson, M.A. (Cantab.), for his very careful and patient revision of the proofs; to the author's wife for assistance with the manuscript and for compiling the index.
