Diesel's Rational Heat Motor: A Lecture (1897) is a book written by Rudolf Diesel, the inventor of the diesel engine. In this book, Diesel presents the principles and design of his invention, which he called the ""rational heat motor."" The book is a transcript of a lecture that Diesel gave in 1897 at the Technical High School of Munich, where he explained the theory behind his engine and its advantages over other types of engines. The book begins with an introduction to the history of the steam engine and the problems that existed with it, including its low efficiency and high fuel consumption. Diesel then goes on to explain the principles of his engine, which is based on the concept of compression ignition. He describes how the engine compresses air to a high temperature and pressure, and then injects fuel into the compressed air, causing it to ignite and power the engine. Throughout the book, Diesel discusses the advantages of his engine, including its high efficiency, low fuel consumption, and ability to use a variety of fuels. He also addresses some of the criticisms of his invention, such as the noise and vibration it produces. Overall, Diesel's Rational Heat Motor: A Lecture (1897) is a seminal work in the history of engineering and technology. It provides a detailed explanation of the principles behind the diesel engine and its advantages over other types of engines, and it remains a valuable resource for engineers and scientists interested in the history and development of the internal combustion engine.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1897 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
