ME 419 - Internal Combustion Engines2 lecture hours 2 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course covers the basic theory of internal combustion reciprocating engines. Course topics include engine performance parameters, combustion, engine cycles, fuels, and emissions. (prereq: ME 416 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
• understand the general engineering operation and design compromises involved in spark and compression ignition engines
• be familiar with common I.C. engine terminology such as knock, detonation, auto ignition, surface to volume ratio and compression ratio
• apply thermodynamics to I.C. engine processes and cycles
• analyze the engine parameters of friction, torque, MEP, IHP, and bsfc
• understand the mechanisms of combustion and the effect of air-fuel ratio on performance
• understand the variables which influence the production of undesirable emissions
• understand the importance of air flow and how it is affected by valves and by turbochargers
