The
test facility and the methods of measuring engine power
"The internal combustion engine is explored in SAE International’s latest book, "An Introduction to Engine Testing and Development," authored by Richard D. Atkins. This 308-page hardbound publication serves as a useful tool for both new and established engineers responsible for engine testing and development. It explains the test process, from setting up a dynamometer test facility to testing for performance and durability.
Additional topics covered in the new book include the test facility and engine power measurement methods, in-cell services, spark plugs, exhaust gas emissions, combustion analysis, turbochargers, base calculations, and quality standards for engine testing.
The list price of the Atkins’ book is $79.95. SAE International members can purchase it for $63.96. Bulk purchase discounts are also available. For more information, visit www.sae.org/technical/books/R-344." - www.tmworld.com
