Course Description
|
|
The objective of
this course is to provide a fundamental
understanding of reciprocating internal
combustion engine design and operation. Lectures
develop the theory of engine operation by
connection to modern trends in engine technology
as well as foundational concepts from earlier
courses in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and
chemistry. Lab work emphasizes both mechanical
dissection and engine testing with subsequent
interpretation of data. |
