Tema Subtema
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 perspectives Fuel formulation: performance impact, emissions, alternative fuels (biobased, Natural gas, synthetic fuels)

Fuel Consumption: downsizing, specific fuel consumption, driver impacts

Dual fuel (gas and Diesel)

Future tendencies to improve the ICE efficiency: HCCI, cylinder deactivation, materials, concepts
