High Performance Two-Stroke Engines analyses the technology of spark
ignition two-stroke engines. The presentation is simple and
comprehensive. The description of the operating cycle, the fluid
dynamics, the lubrication and the cooling systems is followed by
painstaking analysis of the mechanical organs, with the materials and
the manufacturing processes employed to produce them. The book is
completed by an overview of the history and evolution of these engines
and by an examination of the principal types and the diverse fields in
which they are employed. A section of the work is dedicated to an
in-depth analysis of the ignition and combustion phases and the
formation of the air-fuel mixture, with particular attention paid to the
most recent injection systems.
