This book comprehensively discusses diesel combustion phenomena like ignition delay, fuel-air mixing, rate of heat release, and emissions of smoke, particulate and nitric oxide. This book will also be a good professional book for practising engineers in the field of combustion engines and automotive engineering.

An understanding of normal and abnormal wear is essential for engineers working with heavy duty engines, yet most of the available information on wear phenomena related to engines is scattered across the literature.

The underlying principles of combustion phenomena are presented here, providing the basis for quantitative evaluation. These phenomena - ignition delay, fuel air mixing, rate of release, etc. - are then modelled for greater understanding and applicability.
