Automotive Good books to understand detonation in engines

AI Thread Summary
Recommended introductory books for understanding detonation in engines include "Gaseous Detonations: Their Nature, Effects and Control" by M.A. Nettleton and "Internal Combustion Engine Fundamentals" by John Heywood, which is highly regarded in the field. The Wikipedia page on engine knocking serves as a useful starting point for basic concepts. Additionally, "IC Engine" by M.L. Mathur and R.P. Sharma is suggested for further insights. The discussion emphasizes the importance of foundational knowledge in the subject of engine detonation. These resources provide a solid basis for understanding the complexities of engine knock and detonation phenomena.

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.

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
