Handbook of Diesel Engines

From the reviews: "This English translation ... provides a good overview of the state of the art of modern diesel technology, manufacturing, and practice. ... The 60 chapter contributors, almost all from German industries, provide good coverage of supercharging, fuel, injection systems, bearings, pistons, cooling, materials, lubrication, and emissions. ... The handbook is a welcome addition to the existing resources on diesel engines and will be helpful to advanced students and practitioners in the field. Summing Up: Recommended. Mechanical engineering collections serving graduate students and above." (A. M. Strauss, Choice, Vol. 48 (7), March, 2011)
