Internal Combustion Engines

Catalog description

This course differs from “traditional” internal combustion engines courses by considering mechanical design concepts in addition to thermodynamics and thermochemistry. Although traditional topics such as performance parameters, combustion, engine cycles, fuels, and emissions are covered, design topics such as engine sizing and configuration, engine balance, crankshaft and cranktrain design, piston design, cam and valvetrain design, and cylinder block and head configuration are also covered.
