Great Book February 13, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I took the initiative to buy a book on IC engines to teach myself the fundamentals of how they work. This book explains all of the basic principles involved. The author's writing style is down to earth and remains on an undergraduate level. The book is filled with diagrams for the reader to visualize what is being said. The examples solved in the chapters are helpful in solving most of the problems at the end of each chatper. I haven't read any other books on IC fundamentals so I can't make a comparison, but I don't have any complaints about Mr. Pulkrabek's work.
Adequate. No more - no less. December 5, 1999

It's perfect for undergraduate one semester course on internal combustion engines. Theory is straightforward and just adequate - no excess and no scarce. Examples are on modern updated engines, what catches students interest.
