Eligibility:
In order to be eligible for a second cycle course the applicant needs to fulfil the general and specific entry requirements of the programme that owns the course. (If the second cycle course is owned by a first cycle programme, second cycle entry requirements apply.)
Exemption from the eligibility requirement:
Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling these requirements.
Course specific prerequisites
Internal Combustion Engines
Aim
The aim of the course is that students are to attain a deep understanding about internal combustion engines with regards to thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, combustion, sprays, engine control, emissions and exhaust after treatment. The course should give knowledge about numerical and experimental tools which can be used for engine development. Also trends in engine development will be discussed.
Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
- Describe the physics behind engine modelling (0-D/1-D/3-D). Using a 0-D/1-D simulation code you should be able to predict engine performance for a simple engine
- Describe the physics behind gas exchange and charge motion and understand how engine performance is influenced
- Explain how and why engine performance and emissions are influenced by different engine operating parameters
- Explain why fuel sprays has become more and more important and to give an account of what parameters are most important for atomization
- Give an account of/describe different methods for exhaust after treatment
- Describe the difference between pre-mixed and diffusion combustion
- Explain how and why optical measurement methods are being used in engine research and development
- Give examples on different trends in engine development
