Diesel's Rational Heat Motor: A Lecture is a book written by Rudolf Diesel in 1897. The book is a transcript of a lecture given by Diesel at the Technical Society of Munich on February 23, 1897. In this lecture, Diesel explains the principles behind his newly invented heat engine, which he called the Diesel engine. Diesel's engine was a revolutionary invention that used compression ignition to burn fuel, rather than the traditional spark ignition used in gasoline engines. This allowed for greater efficiency and power output, as well as reduced fuel consumption. In his lecture, Diesel discusses the thermodynamic principles behind his engine, including the ideal cycle and the concept of heat balance. He also explains the practical aspects of building and operating a Diesel engine, including the design of the fuel injection system and the use of different types of fuel.The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of engine design and the development of internal combustion engines. It provides a detailed explanation of the principles behind Diesel's engine, as well as practical advice for engineers and mechanics working with these engines. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to readers with a basic understanding of thermodynamics and engine mechanics. Overall, Diesel's Rational Heat Motor: A Lecture is a fascinating insight into the mind of one of the greatest inventors of the modern era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
