FUNDAMENTALS OF ENGINE THERMODYNAMICS

ME 469

Fundamental principles of engine operation and application including cycle analysis, gas analysis, effect of operating conditions and engine design on air pollution.

ME 361

First and second laws of thermodynamics; thermodynamic properties of gases, vapors, and gas-vapor mixtures; energy-systems analysis including power cycles, refrigeration cycles and air-conditioning processes. Introduction to thermodynamics of reacting mixtures.

EPD 624

Provides a physically based understanding of combustion, efficiency, and exhaust emission formation and control in internal combustion engines.

EPD 625

Provides a physically based understanding of gas dynamics with applications to internal combustion engines.

EPD 642

Use the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics in the analysis of engines. Use ideal gas mixtures, thermodynamics and combustion principles to determine adiabatic flame temperature and chemical equilibrium - with focus on Engine Systems
