Learning Outcomes
1.
Describe components, operating principle and efficiency
characteristics of internal combustion engines.
2.
Identify new fuels, fuels properties, air-fuel ratio and their
effect on engine operating characteristics.

Synopsis
This course introduces engine components, operating principle
for ideal air standard and real cycles and efficiency characteristics
of internal combustion engines. New fuels such as biofuels, fuels
properties, air-fuel ratio, fuel intake system and their effect on
engine operating characteristics will be identified. Details of
combustion for SI and CI engines, pollutant formations such as
exhaust emissions and heat transfer systems will be evaluated.
This course will discuss about heat lost due to coolant, friction
and lubrication characteristics.
