Engine Boosting
Engine Boosting applies fluid dynamics and thermodynamics to intake air boosting for internal combustion engines, covering turbocharger and supercharger design and system applications.
Summary
What you’ll be able to do
Design a turbocharger compressor for a specific engine and speed range. Demonstrate how the match is impacted by charge air cooling and exhaust gas recirculation
Analyze and evaluate a turbocharger match for margin against surge, choke and overspeed.
Break down control points for compressor switching and turbine bypass for a given engine and turbocharger maps lay out the operation of a two-stage, series-sequential system.
Evaluate the impact of Miller Cycle application at constant BMEP and as a means on increasing BMEP.

Student experience
the class
Application of fundamental fluid dynamics and thermodynamics principles to intake air boosting for internal combustion engines. Turbocharger and Supercharger design and operating principles, applications to engine system design. Includes both simple, single-stage systems, and multi-stage systems (series, series-sequential, parallel-sequential). Pulse conservation and exhaust gas recirculation will be addressed. Includes advanced considerations including the Miller Cycle, turbocompounding, and e-boosting.
