Objectives of the Course

Gaining of theorical knowledge about, historical development, types, fundamental, theorical and real cycles, performance and emissions of internal combustion engines

Course Content

Historical development of internal combustion engines, their advantages and disadvantages. Constant volume, constant pressure, dual cycle and supercharged engine cycles, theoretical intake and exhaust process, state properties, comparison of internal combustion engine cycles according to different criteria. Differences between real and theoretical cycles, cycles of otto and diesel engines, P-V and valve adjustment diagrams of real cycles. Preparation of combustible mixture in internal combustion engine, combustion, explanation of combustion phases on pressure, crank angle diagram, torque, power, specific fuel consumption, mean pressure, volumetric and thermal efficiency, and parameters which affect them Air pollution, important pollutants, internal combustion engine sourced pollutants, their legal limits and way of reduction
