Internal Combustion Engines, Neal Ham

Professional Degree Theses

"Every one is either directly or indirectly concerned with two types of power plants. The steam power plants of Kansas City furnish us with light, power, and transportation. In this day these are indispensable. The gas, or internal combustion engine power plant furnishes transportation, mainly and some power. Each of our big buses has an internal combustion engine power plant under the hood.

It will be our aim here to show how the internal combustion engines operates and discuss some of the types in use in automobiles and stationary power plants. When one contemplates the immense amount of power developed …

In this study the author is not attempting to formulate a new theory for the movement of oil from its point of origin to its final point of accumulation …
