Externally Heated Valve Engine A New Approach to Piston Engines

Externally Heated Valve Engine A New Approach to Piston Engines / by Zbyszko Kazimierski, Jerzy Wojewoda.

This book reports on a novel approach for generating mechanical energy from different, external heat sources using the body of a typical piston engine with valves. By presenting simple yet effective numerical models, the authors show how this new approach, which combines existing internal combustion...
