Reciprocating-Piston Engines Analysis and Design

Catalog description

Upon completion of this course the students will be able to apply engineering principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, statics, dynamics, vibrations, controls and mechatronics for the selection and design of reciprocating piston engines and their components. They will also be able to design suitable individual engine components for diverse applications and markets. Further they will be able to consider dynamic and strength of materials considerations, and suitable materials according to operating conditions such as pressure, temperature, rotating speed, mass flow rate, fuel properties and working fluid properties.
