Fundamentals of IC Engine Performance and Thermodynamics
See upcoming datesCourse Overview
Students will learn why IC engines are important for cost effective portable power, and the important performance and thermodynamic principles of IC engines. Students will understand the use of IC engines, comparisons to other work cycles, performance criteria, combustion modes, pressure-volume work analysis, power, torque, efficiency, and MEP comparisons. Students will also learn how thermodynamics are applied to engines, the thermodynamic efficiency limit and why lean combustion is better.
Who Should Attend?
Students seeking a basic understanding of IC engine performance and thermodynamics and students interested in taking higher level IC engine courses.
