Download or read book Design of Racing and High Performance Engines written by Joseph Harralson and published by SAE International. This book was released on 1995-02-01 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents, in a clear and easy-to-understand manner, the basic principles involved in the design of high performance engines. Editor Joseph Harralson first compiled this collection of papers for an internal combustion engine design course he teaches at the California State University of Sacramento. Topics covered include: engine friction and output; design of high performance cylinder heads; multi-cylinder motorcycle racing engines; valve timing and how it effects performance; computer modeling of valve spring and valve train dynamics; correlation between valve size and engine operating speed; how flow bench testing is used to improve engine performance; and lean combustion. In addition, two papers of historical interest are included, detailing the design and development of the Ford D.O.H.C. competition engine and the coventry climax racing engine.
Download or read book Design of Racing and High Performance Engines 2004 2013 written by Douglas Fehan and published by SAE International. This book was released on 2013-02-12 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compendium is an update to two best-selling editions published by SAE International in 1995 and 2003. Editor Doug Fehan has assembled a collection of technical papers from the SAE archive that will inspire readers to use race engine development as an important tool in the future of transportation. He focuses on several topics that are important to future race engine design: electrification, materials and processes, and improved technology. Today’s electric hybrid vehicles and kinetic energy recovery systems embody what inventors envisioned in the early 1900s. First employed in trams and trains of that era, the technology was almost forgotten until racers resurrected their version in 2009 F-1 racing. The automotive industry has long admired the aircraft industry’s use of lightweight metals, advanced finishing processes, and composites. The use of these materials and processes has helped reduce overall mass and, in turn, improved speed, performance, and reliability of race engines. Their initial high cost was a limiting factor for integrating them into mass-produced vehicles. With racing leading the way, those limitations were overcome and vehicles today feature some amazing adaptations of those processes and materials. Engine power, efficiency, durability, reliability, and, more recently, emissions have always been of primary importance to the automotive world. The expanding use of electrification, biofuels, CNG, high-pressure fuel delivery systems, combustion air management, turbocharging, supercharging, and low-viscosity lubricants have been the focus of race engine development and are now turning up in dealer showrooms. The papers in this publication were selected for two reasons: they demonstrate the leadership that racing plays in the future of automotive engineering and design as it relates to engines; and they will be interesting to everyone who may be in racing and to those who may want to be in racing.
Download or read book Engine and Drivetrain Performance Math Volume Two written by Vincent W. Robinson and published by . This book was released on 2014-01-20 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engine & Drivetrain Performance Math (Volume Two) is an automotive book for Street and Race Track applications. This book is for the experienced and inexperienced engine & drivetrain builders. Instead of guesswork or taking someone's word which may yield inaccurate results, this book can help assist in giving a closer approximation by providing knowledge that helps you to understand and calculate many engine & drivetrain factors for optimum performance. It includes information, illustrations, photos, graphs, tables, and example calculations. This book is for all makes of cars that have a 4-stroke normally aspirated gasoline engine and associated drivetrain with rear wheel drive. This book can also be applied to any 4-stroke normally aspirated gasoline engine regardless of whether a car has rear wheel drive or not. The information in this book primarily covers engine speed, piston acceleration, air mass efficiency, air-fuel flow & air-fuel ratio, intake and exhaust valve timing & lift, intake manifolds, subsonic and sonic intake flow, engine & rear wheel torque, engine & rear wheel horsepower, rear tire force, linear impulse, linear acceleration & deceleration, and "g"- acceleration.

Download or read book Sports Car and Competition Driving written by Paul Frère and published by Ravenio Books. This book was released on with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I do not believe that any book, or any amount of training of the kind given in competition driving courses, will make a good driver of anyone who does not possess a fundamental, inborn aptitude. Above a certain level, driving becomes a sport, demanding of its adepts instant and accurate reflexes combined with perfect judgement. In this sphere, only those who enjoy an outstanding natural gift, and who take a profound interest in the subject, will ever reach the top. For this reason, I had some hesitation before writing this book— I thought, for instance, of Stirling Moss, Mike Hawthorn, Tony Brooks or Jim Clark, who all started winning races in their very first season of serious racing, at an age when they could have had comparatively little driving experience at all. But surely, they are exceptions, and between the two extremes of the born champion and the hopeless incompetent, there must be hundreds of good drivers who, even if they cannot hope to emulate potential world champions, might gain immense satisfaction from taking part in all sorts of motoring events. These are the non-professionals who, as a rule, cannot devote much time to their motoring activities and who will surely greatly benefit from all the experience that can be passed on to them, thereby reducing the time necessary for satisfying results to be achieved, in whatever sort of competition they intend to enter. If they have analytical minds, they will probably also like to have a better knowledge of the basic physics governing the behaviour and the attitude of their car on the road, which, in turn, will help them drive it to better purpose. The greater part of this book deals with racing, rather than rallying or any other sort of competition in which a time element is involved. This is not only because I consider circuit racing to be motor sport in its purest form (where few factors other than achieving the highest possible speed over a given distance are involved) but also because all the general rules of racing apply, basically, to any other sort of driving—after incidentals such as lack of previous knowledge of the road and the presence on it of other traffic and so on, have been taken into account. I therefore think that a better knowledge and understanding of the factors involved in competition driving should be of benefit to any driver, even if he does not take part in any sort of competition, and thereby contributes to greater safety on the road.

Download or read book The Design and Tuning of Competition Engines written by Philip Hubert Smith and published by Bentley Publishers. This book was released on 1977 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No other book gives you better insight into the expert preparation of engines for racing and high-performance road use, whether your interest lies in street, oval track, drag, or stock car racing. The first chapters explain the fundamentals that govern high-performance engines: thermodynamic laws, gasflow, mechanical efficiency, and engine materials and construction. Understanding these basic factors is crucial to making correct decisions when tuning or modifying your engine. Actual engine preparation techniques are described in the middle section, including cylinder head work and balancing and blueprinting. The final part of the book focuses on modifying specific engines: American V8s, Porsche 911, Volkswagen Air-cooled and Water-cooled, Cosworth BDA, Formula Ford 1600, Datsun 4- and 6-cylinder, and Mazda rotary engines. You'll learn proven techniques to increase performance and reliability, and, just as important, which modifications won't give you meaningful gains.
