Diesel's Rational Heat Motor: A Lecture (1897) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781164620952)

Diesel's Rational Heat Motor: A Lecture is a book written by Rudolf Diesel and first published in 1897. The book is a detailed explanation of Diesel's innovative heat engine, which he invented in the late 19th century. The engine, which is now known as the diesel engine, uses compression ignition to burn fuel, rather than a spark, resulting in a more efficient and powerful engine. In the book, Diesel explains the principles behind his engine and provides detailed diagrams and technical specifications. He also discusses the advantages of his engine over other types of engines, such as the steam engine and the gasoline engine. Diesel's Rational Heat Motor: A Lecture is an important historical document, as it provides insight into the development of the diesel engine and its impact on the industrial revolution. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of engineering and technology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
