De la contraportada

Theever-increasing demands placed on combustion engines are just as great when itcomes to this centerpiece the piston. Achieving less weight or friction, oreven greater wear resistance, requires in-depth knowledge of the processestaking place inside the engine, suitable materials, and appropriate design andmanufacturing processes for pistons, including the necessary testing measures.It is no longer possible for professionals in automotive engineering to managewithout specific expertise of this kind, whether they work in the field ofdesign, development, testing, or maintenance. This technical book answers thesequestions in detail and in a very clear and comprehensible way. In this second, revised edition, every chapter has been revised and expanded. The chapter on Engine testing , for example, now include extensive results in the area of friction power loss measurement and lube oil consumption measurement.
