Purpose and Content

The aim of the course Internal combustion engines are widely used today in transportation and many other areas. This derste aims to provide students with a basic knowledge of the structure of internal combustion engines, the way they work and thermodynamic analysis, and the innovations and improvements in motor technology. In terms of fuels and combustion, basic information is conveyed to the students, as well as to give information about the practical areas in which the student is involved and to show the different forms of transportation and chemical reactions.
Course Content Classification and working principles of internal combustion engines, Ideal cycle analyzes, Fuel-air cycles, Real cycles, Engine fuels, Combustion in internal combustion engines, Engine tests. Definitions about fuel and combustion. Application areas of combustion process. Solid, liquid and gaseous fuels, combustion theory, combustion of solid, liquid and gaseous fuels. Chemical thermodynamics. Chemical equilibrium. Solid and liquid fuels combustion systems.
