POWER AND PROPULSION
• Compare the principle operational differences of the various fuels used in internal combustion engines, their availability, and summarize the applicability of each • Discuss the function and operation of all major components and systems within a modern internal combustion engine • Identify the operational principles behind the timing and working relationships among all internal components, and articulate the importance of this inter-relationship • Recognize the limitations of the current designs and implementations of the modern internal combustion engine • Perform a basic assessment and evaluation of new, cutting- edge designs and new powertrain initiatives as they apply to the mobility industry Who Should Attend If you are a powertrain engineer, component supplier, vehicle platform powertrain development specialist, or involved in the application, design, or discussion of engines this course is for you. It is recommended that course participants have an undergraduate engineering degree. This course is equivalent to the classroom seminar, The Basics of Internal Combustion Engines (ID# C0103), and satisfies a requirement in the Spark Ignition (SI) Engine Certificate Program. Topical Outline Module I: General Concepts • Correctly describe why all engines are considered “heat” engines and discuss how heat is utilized in combustion engines • Describe how elements of air interact with heat and fuel within an engine • Describe characteristics of gasoline that enable it to ignite and combust • Define the terms ignition and combustion and be able to discuss what occurs during each phase Module II: Engine Types • Identify three major engine types used in motive applications • Describe differences between the three major engine types Module III: Fundamental Operating Procedures • Discuss and effectively differentiate between the basic differences and similarities of the two most common combustion cycle circuits • Correctly apply the various combustion/ignition technologies Module IV: Engine Technology • Describe the function, purpose and design issues regarding the hardware and components that support the energy conversion scheme from fast burn combustion, to linear motion, and finally to rotating power source • Apply the various operating cycles (i.e. 4- Stroke, 2-Stroke, etc.) correctly through selection of an engine technology appropriate for the intended application • Explain the concept of ‘fast burn’ versus ‘explosion’ and define the difference between ignition and combustion

Basics of Internal Combustion Engines 10 Hours | On Demand Course I.D.# PD730944 In your profession, an educated understanding of internal combustion engines is required, not optional. This course covers the most relevant topics for maximum comprehension, from the chemistry of combustion to the kinematics of internal components of the modern internal combustion engine. You’ll gain a practical, thorough approach to the basics of the most common designs of internal combustion engines as they apply to the gaseous cycles, thermodynamics, and heat transfer to the major components. The course also includes the design theories that embody these concepts. This ten-hour course is comprised of twelve modules that include the instructor’s insights and industry experience working with internal combustion engine design and application. The modules cover various topics including (but not limited to), two- and four-stroke cycles, principle operational differences of various fuels, timing and working relationships among internal components, limitations to current designs, and the evaluation of new designs. While the course is approximately ten hours in length, the estimated time to completion, including knowledge checks and the learning assessment is eleven hours. Learning Objectives By participating in this On Demand Course, you will be able to: • Discuss in detail the basic functioning and component interaction in a modern internal combustion engine, specifically; two and four-stroke cycles as they relate to reciprocating and rotary engine designs • Describe the general thermodynamic concepts governing the operation of an internal combustion engine and its various cycles
