DeskTop Dynos: Using Computers to Build and Test Engines
Get the most from your Dyno Software!
The 128-page DeskTop Dynos book was
written especially for the automotive enthusiast. The result of two years of
research, this easy-to-read guide contains a completely unique look at
high-performance engines: A view from the perspective of the simulation
designer.
DeskTop Dynos explains how many of the
"mysteries" of the internal-combustion engine can be understood using
wave dynamics and other simulation techniques. Without resorting to complex math
or physics, DeskTop Dynos clearly shows WHY the dimensions of internal
engine passages are the key to unlocking more horsepower. You'll discover why
most camshaft timing specs are simply advertising "hype" instead of
useful descriptions of camshaft function. You'll find out how bore and stroke
affect pumping work and how that can add and subtract power. But most
importantly, DeskTop Dynos will show you WHY it is virtually impossible
to predict power changes from most combinations of components without simulating
the complex physics at work within the engine. No engine expert on earth can
analyze the interactions of pressure, heat, and mass flow within an engine and
accurately predict the outcome. But that's exactly what engine simulation
software does in just minutes! DeskTop Dynos will give you new insight
into how this process works and the knowledge to use this technique to build
more horsepower into any engine.
