PREFACE CONTENTS CHAPTER I

BRIEF CONSIDERATION OF AIRCRAFT TYPES ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS OF AERIAL MOTORS AERIAL MOTORS MUST BE LIGHT FACTORS INFLUENCING POWER NEEDED WHY EXPLOSIVE MOTORS ARE BEST HISTORICAL MAIN TYPES OF INTERNAL-COMBUSTION ENGINES CLASSIFICATION BY CYLINDER ARRANGEMENT

CHAPTER II

OPERATING PRINCIPLES OF TWO- AND FOUR-STROKE CYCLE ENGINES THE TWO-CYCLE AND FOUR-CYCLE TYPES THEORY OF THE GAS AND GASOLINE ENGINE EARLY GAS ENGINE FORMS THE ISOTHERMAL LAW THE ADIABATIC LAW TEMPERATURE COMPUTATIONS HEAT AND ITS WORK CONVERSION OF HEAT TO POWER REQUISITES FOR BEST POWER EFFECT

CHAPTER III

EFFICIENCY OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES VARIOUS MEASURES OF EFFICIENCY TEMPERATURES AND PRESSURES FACTORS GOVERNING ECONOMY LOSSES IN WALL COOLING VALUE OF INDICATOR CARDS COMPRESSION IN EXPLOSIVE MOTORS FACTORS LIMITING COMPRESSION CHART FOR DETERMINING COMPRESSION PRESSURES CAUSES OF HEAT LOSS AND INEFFICIENCY IN EXPLOSIVE MOTORS HEAT LOSSES TO COOLING WATER

CHAPTER IV
