ENGINE BOOSTING

EPD 633
Course Description

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.

EXHAUST AFTERTREATMENT SYSTEMS

EPD 635

Fundamental development of the science and engineering underlying the design of exhaust aftertreatment (catalyst) systems for automotive (internal combustion engine containing) systems. Emphasis is on gasoline and diesel, spark-ignition and compression-ignition combustion engines, though the same fundamentals may be applied to other fuels or combustion types. Introductory material is included on aspects that are related to emissions, including regulatory standards, gasoline and diesel engine basics, fuels, lubricants, combustion, instrumentation, and formation of pollutants. Several causes of emissions and pollutants are intertwined throughout the various topics and the control and treatment of specific emissions species are discussed by device type.
