ME-891 Internal Combustion Engines
Campus SMME
Programs PG
Session Fall Semester 2016
Course Title Internal Combustion Engines
Course Code ME-891
Credit Hours 3
Pre-Requisutes None
Course Objectives The students should attain a fundamental understanding of the function of modern Internal Combustion Engines, including identification of each major component, knowledge of its function and how it relates to the other components in the engine. The student should also understand the basics of combustion chemistry, thermodynamics and heat transfer as applied to an ICE. Calculations of torque, power, efficiency, air/fuel ratio and fuel consumption will be required of students in the course. Finally an understanding of various new technologies in engine controls and their relations to fuel economy, vehicle cost and emissions will be required.
