Overview of Course & Introduction

Course Overview This undergraduate level course teaches the principles of Internal Combustion Engines. The primary focus of the course is on the teaching of thermodynamics and Gas dynamics in internal combustion engines. The course provides information that will enable the engineering analysis of spark ignition and compression ignition engines and also Its separate components including combustion chambers, ignition methods, fuel supply, cooling of the engines and etc

Course Objectives
Students successfully completing ME 315 will get: A basic understanding of the engine behavior.
Which includes only those aspects of IC engines related to overall operations fundamental principles performance characteristics.

A basic understanding of the combustion phenomena in SI and CI engine. A basic understanding of the working principles of advanced technologies such as VVT, turbocharger ete The ability to analyze engines; determine efficiency of the engine.

Course Contents
Fuel-air cycles Actual cycles Combustion in SI engines Stages of combustion Flame propagation SI combustion chambers Combustion in CI engines Delay period CI engine combustion chambers Carburetion Fuel injection Ignition Engine friction and lubrication Engine cooling Testing and performance.

I.C.ENGINES! DO WE REALLY NEED EM?

I have always considered that the substitution of the Internal Combustion Engine for the horse marked a very gloomy milestone in the progress of mankind. -Winston Churchill If all the perverted ingenuity which was put into making automobiles had only gone into improving the breed of horses, we might be a lot better off today. -Joe Gould

ENGINES! BOON OR BANE?

Greatest invention since the wheel? Made transportation easy! Made life easy! OR DID IT? Increased pollution Increased fossil fuel consumption Increased congestion on roads

BUT..
WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT. CAN WE DO WITHOUT IT? DO WE HAVE VIABLE ALTERNATIVES?

THINK
AS OF TODAY WE HAVE NO ANSWER MAY BE FOR AT LEAST 20 YEARS MORE! SO WE ARE STUCK WITH IT!

SO WE STUDY IT.! And so on to the course:
