In this new, revised edition of the Auto Math Handbook, authors John Lawlor and John Hancock, update what's been the standard reference for automotive engineers, auto racers, students and high-performance enthusiasts, since 1991.
The information, formulas, calculations and equations in this guide, will give you a solid foundation for any car or engine building project.
Updated and revised sections covering:
- Displacement
- Bore
- Stroke
- Air Capacity
- Volumetric Efficiency
- Center of Gravity
- Weight Distribution
- g Force
- ... and much more!
You will also find new sections covering instrument error and calibration, rolling resistance, aerodynamics, computer programs and more. All presented in an easy-to-understand format using real-world applications.
