Designing Diesel Engines

You may not find a single book on the subject you are looking for what exactly are you looking for in diesel engine design.be more specfic.

Probably any book you find will be at least twenty years out-of-date. The industry guards it's recent info very jealously.

i Agree with you even the employees doesent have any inkling whats happening in their own setups (Diesel engine manafacturers) as far as techonologies are concerned.

Today engine design is so complicated that you will not keep up to date with state of the art technology as it changes so fast now, unless you join a manufacturer with a design team: Mercedes, Volkswagen, Scania, MAN, MTU, Wartsila, Caterpillar, Cummins, Mitsibishi, General Electric or dedicated engine consulting specialists like AVL, Ricardo, etc etc who design for most manufacturers in the automotive, industrial and marine spheres. also depends what size of engine you want to design - 60mm or 500mm or 1000mmm, two stroke, four stroke.

the last book I can remember was at least twenty years ago, well out of date now, sorry, and they generally give only basic information. Better to concentrate on trying to obtain papers from engineering Institutes, automotive, mechanical, marine types. or from SAE or CIMAC international conference for automotive or industrial combustion machines.

I am one of those consultants. Wartsila was a client for 3 years, and as reported in these posts, I can assure you for the last 15 years we have come a long way with designing for multi-fuels and those designs are super secret. I don't know of any book that points out even the basics of designs and I confirm that if you did find such a book it will be so outdated it would be like a computer book showing all the types of vacuum tubes to use. 35 years ago a diesel engine laboratory had 60 YO men with fingers missing, who would put on a Cowboy hat, take a claw hammer and bend something to "try it again" drinking hot black coffee in a 50*C engine room with a cigarette hanging straight down from their lips with 3 cm of ashes. Today we use notebook computer network stations with a vegetarian 33 YO double PhD woman and her team, drinking green tea in a 23* C HVAC controlled test cell, all wearing bright white lab coats, using new materials named 'unobtainum' and 'costalloy' . . . . . . and I just love it. The new engines are so bloody cool I can't stand it.

33yr old women with double phD breasts! wow sounds like my kind of woman! do you have any spare?

Great description!!

Up-to-date high tech information is difficult to obtain, but fundamentals are available from: Charles Fayette Taylor's "The Internal Combustion Engine in Theory and Practice" published by The MIT Press. It's a good place to start and consists of two volumes.

Good Luck!

If you are looking for just basics or do it yourself try http://www.lindsaybks.com/index.html

Thanks very much for your helping.

i saved the sites you gave me,and will read it

if i need any help,ill ask you.

thanks very much

You can check http://www.dieselnet.com/.You will find lot of techenical information free if you need some latest publication you have to subcribe costing 120$ per year this site is an exellnt site on diesel engine emissions and desigen

best of luck

Have you tried the patents? Every company should be patenting their inventions otherwise someone else will patent your invention and suit you for not paying the rights of use.

ummmm,

now i know wat i need.

i need a book of basices for diesel engines designing& ill learn &will improve designing by my way.

great thanks for all of you,
