1. Introduction |
History of the ICE
Impact of ICE on petroleum consumption and CO2 emissions. |
Fundamentals, technologies and emissions |
Basic principles, types of the ICE: 2-stroke, 4-stroke, Wankel and Atkinson cycle.
Gasoline versus Diesel Engine
Construction principles: valve train, pistons, crankshaft, oil circuit and cooling circuit
Gasoline mixture preparation: intake manifold, valve timing, PFI and GDI
Diesel mixture preparation: injection pressure, injector geometry
Supercharging: turbo and blower
Emissions: constituents (HC, CO, Nox, etc.), catalyst evolution, euro limits
|
Fuels and future technology perspectives |
Fuel formulation and consumption: performance impact, emissions, alternative fuels (biofuels, Natural gas, synthetic fuels)
Dual fuel systems (gas and Diesel)
Future tendencies to improve the ICE efficiency: Downsizing, HCCI, cylinder deactivation, materials, concepts
PHEV Plug-In Hybrid Electrical Vehicle, Electrical Vehicles, Hydrogen
