Aims: To examine the technology, operation and application of IC engines. To analyse the criteria governing IC engine design, performance, combustion and emissions. Learning Outcomes: After taking this unit the student should be able to: * Discuss the parameters that define IC engine performance. * Identify the distinct operating characteristics of different classifications of IC engines. * Understand and predict the thermodynamic and mechanical constrains governing design. * Explain the environmental issues concerning future IC engine development. Skills: Problem solving; numeracy; working independently. Content: Thermodynamic and mechanical principles; combustion and fuels; spark and compression ignition engines; turbocharging; fuelling systems; induction, in-cylinder and exhaust processes; emission formation and reduction/prevention; automotive emission legislation; case studies; introduction to IC engine simulation techniques. Topics for self study that could be examined. |
