Aim: To give the students a practical knowledge of vehicles energy consumption and emission of air pollutants, to examine the interaction between engine characteristics and driving behaviour for vehicles and to increase the understanding of combustion processes in engines.
This is accomplished thorough a combination of lectures, engine experiments and computer simulations. An important element is to show compare experimental measurements and computer simulations. This is done through the construction of a simple engine simulation, the use of a previously develop engine simulation, and comparison between measurements and simulations.
|
Contents: Lectures: Purpose, limitations and methodology for simulations. Theoretical principles and operating characteristics for spark ignition and compression ignition engines, driving resistance for vehicles, vehicles gearing, interaction between vehicle and engine.
Experiments: Spark ignition engine, Diesel engine and vihicle tets for power, fuel consumption and emissions.
Simulation: Development of a simple simulation program for a combustion engine. Use of an existing program for simulation/development of an eengine.
