Features: This book is suitable for engineering design personnel in enterprises or research institutions engaged in the design of high-speed diesel engines, as well as for undergraduate and graduate students in thermal energy and power engineering. It is a practical professional book written based on the author's years of experience working at the Shanghai Internal Combustion Engine Research Institute, as well as the data provided during the collaboration between Ricardo Consulting Engineers (UK), AVL (Austria), and the Shanghai Internal Combustion Engine Research Institute. The book not only provides detailed introductions to the overall layout, main systems, and design methods of high-speed diesel engines but also offers a wealth of design experience data and reference diagrams. The difference between this book and general internal combustion engine textbooks lies in its greater emphasis on practicality and the integration of theory and practice. It is believed that this book will be helpful for design engineers who have mastered the basic theory of internal combustion engines when engaged in product development or improvement. The book is divided into 8 chapters: General Introduction, Engine Block and Cylinder Sleeve, Cylinder Head, Combustion System, Piston and Connecting Rod, Crankshaft, Valve Train, and Introduction to Modern Design Methods.
