At the end of this program students will be able to:
- accomplish a thermodynamic cycle analysis of an internal combustion engine,
- apply such an analysis for calculating the cyclic gas forces to be used in a preliminary design,
- understand the physics of engine cyclic processes such as induction, compression, combustion, expansion and exhaust both descriptively and analytically,
- learn the operation and description of various engine auxiliary systems such as induction, ignition, fuel injection, cooling and lubrication systems,
- have acquired a comprehensive insight of an internal combustion engine and how it is applied.
