MOTORI AD ALTA POTENZA SPECIFICA - LE BASI CONCETTUALI DELLA TECNICA DA COMPETIZIONE (NUOVA EDIZIONE)
First appearing in 1995, Motori ad alta potenza specifica, by engineers Giacomo Augusto Pignone and Ugo Romolo Vercelli, is much more than a book on engine technology.
From its first appearance, in fact, as well as qualifying as an unquestionable reference text in its specific field, it has distinguished in-depth conceptual-philosophical studies that constitute one of the most interesting peculiarities of this volume, now in its fifth edition.
The volume explains the technology of racing cars with all the fundamental parameters that govern engine operation, and is enriched by important contributions that not only update previously discussed aspects but also expand the content of the work.
Among others, there are a number of sections in which mechanics issues are examined under the light of the evolution that has taken place in recent years in the field of motoring: transmissions, electronic management, the choice of materials, the high specific power diesel engine and the hydrogen vehicle.
In dealing with the various "issues", the authors try to make non-simple topics, hitherto the preserve of a few insiders, accessible to most people, while maintaining absolute rigor in the exposition.
This new edition comes as a tribute to one of the authors, engineer Pignone - who recently passed away - who was an appreciated technical divulgator, but also a refined thinker
The work - which includes all the latest annotations and filings indicated by Engineer Pignone - is now a timeless classic in motoring technology for anyone who wants to learn the basics of how high specific power engines work, a volume that even many years after its first edition, does not cease to fascinate, providing continuous food for thought.
576 pages and over 220 technical illustrations.
