Description
Pre Requisites: MMAN2600 and MECH3610
This course introduces the fundamentals of how the design and operation of automobile engines affect their performance and environmental impact. The fluid flow, thermodynamics, combustion, and fuel properties are studied with reference to engine power, efficiency, and pollutant formation. Students examine the design features and operating characteristics of different types of automobile engines: conventional gasoline, diesel engines, and the next-generation combustion engines including direct-injection (DI), low-temperature-combustion (LTC) diesel, homogeneous-charge compression-ignition (HCCI) engines. The key features of alternative fuel, hybrid, and fuel-cell powered engines are also discussed. The course includes a term project of literature review and presentation performed by 3~4 students as a project team. This is a postgraduate course; however, it is also available to undergraduate students as a technical elective.
