Excerpt from Elements of Gas Engine Design This work is an attempt to present, in a condensed form, all of the fundamental principles with which a designer of gas engines should be familiar. A complete exposition of the elements only of all subjects of direct interest to the designer is aimed at. No attempt is made to go into mathematical or constructional details, as this is manifestly impossible in a work of this size. In Chapters I to V is given a general outline of the physics and chemistry of the gas engine and a discussion of gas engine fuels, leading up to Table 3 which gives the relative power yielded by various fuels in a given engine. Chapters VI to IX give a discussion of the action in a gas engine cylinder, from the designer's point of view, leading up to Chapter X, which gives the method of finding the size of cylinder for a given power.
