I'm interested in the knowledge that was available to aircraft engineers in the period 1900-1920. specifically the thermodynamics and mechanical engineering knowledge generally available, like in how much detail were the calculations on the performance, or the cooling of engines done, how general was the knowledge on the different thermodynamic cycles and how were they used, how much knowledge was based on observations, measurements and correlations?
Example: The gas, petrol and oil engine, by Dugald Clerk (1910) which you can find online.
I'm hoping to find one or two books that are treating aircraft engines in more detail from this period.
