MF2048 Internal Combustion Engines 2 9.0 credits

The course covers combustion, exhaust emission formation and control of exhaust emissions of spark ignition and diesel engines. It covers inertia forces and two-stroke engines. Training in oral and written presentation are included. The course builds on the content of the ICE 1 and is a continuation of this.

After completing the course students must be able to:

•On a clear and simple way present their findings orally and in writing

•Identify the most common exhaust emissions from internal combustion engines and their impact on health and environment

After completing the course students must be able to describe:

•The combustion and emission formation in the spark ignited engine

•A turbo-supercharging systems from a performance perspective

•The combustion and emission formation in the diesel engine

•Different methods to reduce exhaust emissions from diesel engines, both in combustion and aftertreatment

•Mass forces and vibration of a single cylinder engine

•How the two-stroke engine works

•How pulses in inlet and exhaust systems affect cylinder filling

•Thoughts and reasoning in current engine development

After completing the course students must be able to demonstrate an understanding of:

•Challenges related to industrial application

• Possibilities and limitations of using a simulation program for engine performance

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Other students: To be able to follow the course you must have knowledge similar to the basic course MF2047/MF2015
