TARGET
The course target is to provide fundamental information dealing with recent concepts of vehicle powertrains, especially combustion engines (ICE) and tools for their realization, especially considering mixture formation, combustion and gas 18ateriál principles.

CONTENTS

Fundamentals of internal combustion engines (ICE): principles of thermodynamics, principles of combustion, formation of pollutants, gas exchange, super- and turbocharging; description of tools for fuel injection, mixture formation, valve gears, combustion realization, exhaust aftertreatment.
