Synopsis of Course Contents This course introduces engine components, operating principle for ideal air
standard and real cycles and efficiency characteristics of internal combus-
tion engines. New fuels such as biofuels, fuels properties, air-fuel ratio, fuel
intake system and their effect on engine operating characteristics will be
identified. Details of combustion for SI and CI engines, pollutant formations
such as exhaust emissions and heat transfer systems will be evaluated.
This course will discuss about heat lost due to coolant, friction and lubrica-
tion characteristics.
