This course provides a comprehensive study of internal combustion engines (ICEs) with emphasis on their principles of operation, thermodynamic analysis, combustion processes, performance evaluation, and environmental impact. The course covers both spark-ignition (SI) and compression-ignition (CI) engines, including two-stroke and four-stroke cycles.
Students will analyze ideal and real engine cycles (Otto, Diesel, and Dual cycles), evaluate engine performance parameters, and understand the influence of fuel properties, combustion characteristics, and operating conditions on engine efficiency and emissions. The course also introduces engine testing methods, emission control techniques, and modern engine technologies such as turbocharging, direct injection, and hybrid powertrains.
The course is designed to bridge theoretical thermodynamics with practical engineering applications, preparing students for advanced studies and professional practice in automotive, power generation, and energy systems engineering.
