Turbulent flowfield in IC engines. Ignition, premixed flame propagation, knock in homogeneous charge, external ignition engines (otto). Compression-ignition diesel engines, incl. mixture formation and HCCI concepts. Direct ignition. Pollutant formation mechanism (NOx, particulates, unburned hydrocarbons) and their minimization. Catalytic exhaust aftertreatment methods for all pollutant categories.
Objective
The students get a further insight in the internal combustion engine by means of the topics mentioned in the abstract. This knowledge is applied in several calculation exercises and lab exercises at the engine test bench. The students additionally get an introduction in exhaust gas aftertreatment systems.
This course is a natural extension of the course 'IC-Engines and Propulsion Systems I' (151-0251-00L). The content of that lecture is assumed known. Basic knowledge of thermodynamics and combustion is required. It is beneficial to have attended the course 'Combustion and Reactive Processes in Energy and Materials Technology' (151-0293-00L).
Performance assessment
Performance assessment information (valid until the course unit is held again)
The performance assessment is only offered in the session after the course unit. Repetition only possible after re-enrolling.
Mode of examination
written 120 minutes
Additional information on mode of examination
The student has to participate in an mid-semester examination based on the lecture and laboratory exercise topics which counts 20% to the final grade. The student is allowed to use 2 page A4 (1 sheet doublesided) with notes written by his own hand (no prints). This exam is intended to support the very basic understanding of the lecture material.
Written aids
6 pages A4 (3 sheets double sided) with notes written by the student by his own hand (no prints)
This information can be updated until the beginning of the semester; information on the examination timetable is binding.
