Internal Combustion Engines (FSI-ESM-K)

Academic year 2023/2024
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Zdeněk Kaplan, CSc.  
Supervising institute: ÚADI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The aim of the course is to make students familiar with fundamental principles of combustion engines, their properties, characteristics and the engine design.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Students learn of the development and present condition of design of piston combustion engines and their parts.
Prerequisites:
The student needs to have knowledge appropriate courses of theoretical basics of bachelor study programme at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Technology, Brno
Course contents:
This course is concerned with the state-of-the-art and the application trends of piston combustion engines in transport means and handling technology. Current fuels. Characteristics of piston combustion engines, creation of fuel-air mixture in spark ignition and compression ignition engines. Two-stroke engines. Increasing engine power. Design characteristics of combustion engines relating to their operation purpose. Design of piston combustion engine parts.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
The credit is suspended by active participation in exercises and correctly elaborated acts. The exam checks the knowledge from lectures and exercises, consists of written and oral parts.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Seminars are obligatory, checked by a teacher. The way of compensation of missed lessons (in justified cases) is solved individually with the course guarantee person.
