Description
This book brings together the large and scattered body of information on the theory and practice of engine testing, to which any engineer
responsible for work of this kind must have access. Engine testing is a fundamental part of development of new engine and powertrain
systems, as well as of the modification of existing systems. It forms a significant part of the practical work of many automotive and
mechanical engineers, in the auto manufacturing companies, their suppliers suppliers, specialist engineering services organisations,
the motor sport sector, hybrid vehicles and tuning sector. The eclectic nature of engine, powertrain, chassis and whole vehicle testing
makes this comprehensive book a true must-have reference for those in the automotive industry as well as more advanced students of automotive
engineering.
