Additional Reading
Diesel engines are discussed in Bernard Challen and Rodica Baranescu (eds.), Diesel Engine Reference Book (1999); and Frank J. Thiessen and Davis N. Dales, Diesel Fundamentals and Service, 4th ed. (2000). Technical overviews are provided in Andrew Norman, John Corinchock, and Robert Scharff, Diesel Technology: Fundamentals, Service, Repair (1998); and Nigel Calder, Marine Diesel Engines: Maintenance, Troubleshooting, and Repair, 2nd ed. (1992, reissued 2003). C. Lyle Cummins, Diesel’s Engine (1993– ), is a historical review that traces the life of Rudolf Diesel and his contemporaries as they brought the most efficient internal-combustion technology to the marketplace.
