Dear my friends
I am looking for the best book about principal of internal combustion engine.
please help me
with best regards
I would suggest two books
1. Internal Combustion Engine Fundamentals by John Heywood
2. Engineering Fundamentals of the Internal Combustion Engine by Willard W. Pulkrabek
Deaer Balaji Mohan
thanks for kind reply
I have these books. can you suggest me another?
With best regards
There is also the book by Colin R. Ferguson and Allan T. Kirkpatrick " Internal Combustion Engines: Applied Thermosciences".
But I used that by Willard W. Pulkrabek
John Heywood's ICE Fundamentals, despite being written three decades ago, still remains one of the best books to get introduction and fundamentals, and is the book I recommend to start with.
I would also recommend a textbook for automotive technicians (mechanics), these are available in many languages, together with a part-time job as an engine mechanic at an auto repair shop. In my opinion, you get to understand the engine only after you have taken one completely apart and put it back together.
Once you have done this, if I am still around, ask me for more books.
I would suggest the following books:
1. Internal Combustion Engine Fundamentals by John Heywood
2. Internal Combustion Engines: Applied Thermosciences, Colin R. Ferguson, Allan T. Kirkpatrick
Some other books that may interest you are
- Four-Stroke Performance Tuning: Fourth edition by A Graham Bell
- Design and Simulation of Four Stroke Engines by Gordon P. Blair
- Internal Combustion Engines and Air Pollution by Edward Frederic Obert
- The Internal Combustion Engine in Theory and Practice: Vol. 1 - 2nd Edition, Revised: Thermodynamics, Fluid Flow... by Charles Fayette Taylor
- Internal Combustion Engine in Theory and Practice: Vol. 2 - 2nd Edition, Revised: Combustion, Fuels, Materials, Design-by Charles Fayette Taylor
If you want to know the History of IC engines and would like to read some novels then i would suggest you to read this book
- The Romance of Engines by Takashi Suzuki
If you want to learn about modelling process then i would suggest
- Modeling Engine Spray and Combustion Processes by Stiesch, Gunnar
Hope this helps you better. All the best in learning about IC engines

Balaji
You can try these books: Mostafa Kiani Deh Kiani
1) Internal Combustion Engines - V. Ganesan
2) FUNDAMENTALS OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES - H. N. GUPTA
3) Internal Combustion Engines - R.K. Rajput
Hope, these would be helpful to you.
The books in the picture helped me tremendously to build my knowledge. As I started my PhD, I had actually no prior knowledge on Diesel engines. I was a control engineer, who his thesis subject was to propose solutions for the detection and isolation of faults on marine Diesel engines. So at that time, I needed mainly to know
- how does a diesel engine work,
- what’s the difference between a Diesel engine and the other types of engines,
- what are the differences between the diesel engines themselves and how to classify them,
- what are the components and sub-systems of a Diesel engine and their role,
- what are the faults that the Diesel engines are subjected to,
- what are the symptoms of the faults,
- how to detect the faults,
- how to differentiate between the faults, if the symptoms are similar
Then at an advanced stage of my thesis, I had to make some simulations, to validate the hypothesis, which we could not perform on the test bench.
As already mentioned above, this selection of books helped me to build my knowledge. It doesn’t mean that there are not other good books on the subject. But if you have similar questions like those that I had, you will find in these books, all the needed answers.
