The work is split into two distinct volumes to cover the breadth of the subject: Volume 1: Thermodynamics, Fluid Flow, Performance Guidance on choosing alloys for pistons

Taylor’s approach is unique because it moves beyond simple descriptions of parts to provide a deep mathematical and thermodynamic analysis of how engines function.
