SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on recommended literature for understanding detonation in engines, specifically engine knock. Key texts include "Gaseous Detonations: Their Nature, Effects and Control" by M.A. Nettleton, published by Chapman and Hall in 1987, and "Internal Combustion Engine Fundamentals" by John Heywood, with a new second edition released in 2023. Additionally, "IC Engine" by M.L. Mathur and R.P. Sharma is suggested as a valuable resource for foundational knowledge.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of internal combustion engine mechanics
  • Familiarity with thermodynamics principles
  • Knowledge of combustion processes
  • Awareness of engine performance metrics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Gaseous Detonations: Their Nature, Effects and Control" by M.A. Nettleton

Experts I've worked with have long considered John Heywood's book "Internal Combustion Engine Fundamentals" the bible for IC engines. I just happened to see that a 2nd edition came out this year.
