This text, by a leading authority in the field, presents a fundamental and factual development of the science and engineering underlying the design of combustion engines and turbines. The short course has a duration of approximately eight hours and can be delivered live or as a self-paced online seminar.īasic knowledge of thermodynamics and automotive systems is required. Among these engines are four-stroke diesel and petrol engines, petrol engines with variable compression and two-stroke petrol engines. McGraw-Hill Education, 1988 - 930 páginas. This short course provides a fundamental background of spark-ignited and compression-ignited engines for passenger cars and light-duty trucks, covering the working principles, basic mechanical components, geometric and operating parameters, thermodynamic processes, operations of air, fuel and combustion systems, along with integration with transmissions and powertrains, engine cycle analysis, modeling and control, and new trends in IC engines.
