Course Description

This course covers in detail IC engines, their main components, valve timing diagrams, 4-stroke & 2-stroke engines, actuator indicator diagrams, scavenging, detonation, fuel ignition systems, injection systems, & many more. 

Overview of IC Engines:

The internal combustion engine is an engine in which the burning of fuel occurs in a confined space called a combustion chamber. This exothermic reaction of a fuel with an oxidizer creates gases of high temperature and pressure, which are permitted to expand. The defining feature of an internal combustion engine is that useful work is performed by the expanding hot gases acting directly to cause movement, for example, by acting on pistons, rotors, or even by pressing on and moving the entire engine itself.

This contrasts with external combustion engines, such as steam engines, which use the combustion process to heat a separate working fluid, typically water or steam, which then, in turn, does work, for example, by pressing on a steam-actuated piston.

The term Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) is almost always used to refer specifically to reciprocating engines, Wankel engines, and similar designs in which combustion is intermittent. However, continuous combustion engines, such as jet engines, most rockets, and many gas turbines, are also internal combustion engines.

Internal combustion engines are seen mostly in transportation. Several other uses are for any portable situation where you need a non-electric motor. The largest application in this situation would be an internal combustion engine driving an electric generator. That way, you can use standard electric tools driven by an internal combustion engine.

Being a mechanical or automobile engineer requires having a good grasp of this particular topic. I hope this course lives up to your expectations.
