Aims of the course unit: | ||||
The course provides an overview of alternative propulsion units and modern methods of tuning, efficiency, and ecologic parameters. | ||||
Learning outcomes and competences: | ||||
The course widens the knowledge of theory of internal combustion engines and improves students´ position on the labour market. | ||||
Prerequisites: | ||||
Students need to have the knowledge from appropriate courses of theoretical basics of Master degree study programme at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Brno University of Technology. | ||||
Course contents: | ||||
Turbocharging the compression ignition engine, turbocharging the spark ignition engine, two-stroke engines, hydrogen engine, rotary engine, Stirling engine, electric propulsion systems, hybrid propulsion systems, fuel cells. | ||||
Teaching methods and criteria: | ||||
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures. | ||||
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes: | ||||
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes: The course-unit credit is awarded on condition of having attended the seminars actively, elaborated an essay and fulfilled the conditions of the control test. | ||||
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. | ||||
