Internal Combustion Engines: A Computerized Design Approach

Abstract:

This paper describes computer-aided-design software which accurately and efficiently designs internal combustion engine (I.C.) parts with the aid of Microsoft Visual Basic Object - oriented programming language. In addition to numerically outputting solutions (design parameters), the software also provides graphical solutions which facilitates easy visualization of trends in the variation of the solutions with important parameters. We then illustrate its accuracy and efficiency with some benchmark examples.
