The purpose of this book is to make it easier to design better two-stroke cycle diesel engines. To accomplish this purpose, use of all higher mathematics is avoided except in appendixes which can be ignored by any reader who is interested in the application of the derivations, rather than in the mathematics employed. By going one step further, complicated formulas have been frequently reduced to charts readily applicable to design problems. Finally, the application of the formulas and charts is illustrated with numerous numerical examples. - from the Preface.
