Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
The contents intend to give a solid base for development work, production and application of piston engines with internal combustion, with a focus on diesel and Otto engines, which mainly implies:
- A general orientation around the properties of the engine
- A survey of the engine's mechanical design with a focus on important components
- The thermodynamics of engines
- The combustion of engines
- Exhaust emissions, how these are formed and reduced, and their influence on man and the environment
- Fuels and their influence on the environment
- Legal requirement
Intended learning outcomes
After passing the course, the student should be able to:
- Describe the basic mechanical design of the piston engine
- Describe how the choice of engine configuration influences the vibrations of the engine
- Describe the function of the cooling system and its included components
- Describe the function of the lubrication system and its included components
- Calculate basic thermodynamic data for a complete work cycle in an engine
- Calculate required amount of fuel for stoichiometric combustion of some common fuels
- Account for combustion system function in the Otto engine
- Account for the emission formation in the Otto engine
- Account for how the emissions are controlled in the Otto engine
- Account for combustion system function in the diesel engine
- Account for the emission formation in the diesel engine
- Account for how the emissions are controlled in the diesel engine
- Describe how legal requirements influence the engine development
