Fundamentals of engines and their types. Review of air-standard, fuel-Air and actual cycles. Fuel and combustion. Fuel feeding systems. Engine testing and performance characteristics. Air pollution. Forced induction systems. The course also includes an experimental part which allows the student to estimate the performance of both spark ignition and compression ignition engines, effect of some parameters on engine performance like ignition timing, Air/Fuel ratio, compression ratio and perform an energy balance of the compression ignition engine.
