Opis

Piston Engine-Based Power Plants presents Breeze's most up-to-date discussion and clear and concise analysis of this resource, aimed at those working and researching in the area. Various engine types including Diesel and Stirling are discussed, with consideration of economic factors and important planning considerations, such as the size and speed of the plant. Breeze also evaluates the emissions which piston engines can create and considers ways of planning for and controlling those.

• Explores various types of engines used to power automotive power plants such as internal combustion, spark-ignition and dual-fuel
• Discusses the engine cycles, size and speed
• Evaluates emissions and considers the various economic factors involved
