{"product_id":"vehicle-powertrain-system-david-crolla-9780470666029","title":"Vehicle Powertrain System","description":"The powertrain is at the heart of vehicle design; the engine - whether it is a conventional, hybrid or electric design - provides the motive power, which is then managed and controlled through the transmission and final drive components. The overall powertrain system therefore defines the dynamic performance and character of the vehicle. \u003cp\u003eThe design of the powertrain has conventionally been tackled by analyzing each of the subsystems individually and the individual components, for example, engine, transmission and driveline have received considerable attention in textbooks over the past decades. The key theme of this book is to take a systems approach - to look at the integration of the components so that the whole powertrain system meets the demands of overall energy efficiency and good drivability.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eVehicle Powertrain Systems\u003c\/i\u003e provides a thorough description and analysis of all the powertrain components and then treats them together so that the overall performance of the vehicle can be understood and calculated. The text is well supported by practical problems and worked examples. Extensive use is made of the MATLAB\u003csup\u003e(R)\u003c\/sup\u003e software and many example programmes for vehicle calculations are provided in the text.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey features: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e Structured approach to explaining the fundamentals of powertrain engineering \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Integration of powertrain components into overall vehicle design \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Emphasis on practical vehicle design issues \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Extensive use of practical problems and worked examples \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Provision of MATLAB\u003csup\u003e(R)\u003c\/sup\u003e programmes for the reader to use in vehicle performance calculations \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis comprehensive and integrated analysis of vehicle powertrain engineering provides an invaluable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate automotive engineering students and is a useful reference for practicing engineers in the vehicle industry\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Crolla, Behrooz Mashadi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0470666021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780470666029\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/30\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 6.80w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2012 pg. 279","brand":"David Crolla","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43919863185663,"sku":"9780470666029","price":126.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_37e3876f-1a52-4f8a-9d21-db3653ea8db8.jpg?v=1680812323","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/vehicle-powertrain-system-david-crolla-9780470666029","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
