After describing the more elementary theorems in thermodynamics and the cycles employed, the author gives a very good account of the numerous experiments which have been made on explosions in closed vessels, and on temperatures inside the working cylinder. The book is divided into three sections, the first of which treats of the theory of the subject. These developments have necessitated many changes and additions in the present volume. SINCE the first edition of this book was published in 1908, there have been many important developments, both scientific and practical, in the internal combustion engine.
