Reviews

'... if the use of paper had to be limited to vital engine books, this one would qualify for printing, hands down!'
Racecar Engineering
'.. it should be a worthwhile investment for any company considering embarking on a testing project or an overhaul of its existing testing facilities.'
Automotive Engineer
'goes deeply into the theory of both the engines themselves and the various test methods, as well as providing a vast amount of practical information on testing different types of power plant.
Marine Propulsion International
'..this is a well presented book which is packed with much useful information of a practical nature, but also dealing with fundamental theory of subjects involved. The book should be essential reading for anyone involved with engine testing, but it will also be a very useful work for any engineering undergraduate due to the coverage of the many individual topics brought together under the general heading of engine testing.'
