Two-Stroke Cycle Engine

Addresses the two-stroke cycle internal combustion engine, used in compact, lightweight form in everything from motorcycles to chainsaws to outboard motors, and in large sizes for marine propulsion and power generation. This book provides an overview of the principles, characteristics, applications, and history of the two-stroke cycle engine.
This work offers a comprehensive and concise overview of the subject of two-stroke cycle engines, and provides the fundamentals of the two-stroke cycle internal combustion engine and its operation. Using up-to-date knowledge, the theory and practice of this important engine field is explained. This resource also examines the various types of models that have been developed to predict aspects of two-stroke engine operation, the experimental methods that are used in two-stroke engine development and testing, and the major issues involved in the engine's design. Each chapter is extensively illustrated and referenced.
