POWER AND PROPULSION
Who Should Attend This seminar is designed for engineers, managers, and other technical personnel from OEMs and support industries concerned with the design and development of optimized diesel and spark ignition engine systems, including calibration, performance, fuel economy and emissions for passenger car, light truck and heavy duty engines. It will be particularly interesting to Diesel engineers who will likely adopt some of the technologies developed in the gasoline sector for further improvements in emissions control and gains in fuel economy. It will be also of interest to combustion researchers as VVA will play a strong enabling role to exploring advanced combustion strategies. Prerequisites Some background in thermodynamics, IC engine performance and emissions will be helpful. Individuals who need more background should consider attending SAE seminar, The Basics of Internal Combustion Engines (ID# C0103) or taking the On Demand Course (ID# PD730944) Topical Outline DAY ONE • Motivation and Objectives −− Near and long term landscape −− Fuel Economy, performance and emission standards −− Key engine technologies −− Overview of VVA landscape • VVA Timeline −− Efficiency improvements and synergies with other technologies −− Industry trends and benchmarking • Basic Engine Definitions −− Work, fuel consumption, efficiency, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) −− Class exercise: engine performance calculator sheet −− Thermodynamics and chemistry −− Class exercise: EGR and valve timing effects on combustion • Variable Valve Actuation Designs −− Valvetrain overview: lift, timing, valve overlap −− Cam phasing, cam switching, continuous variable lift −− Lost motion systems including cylinder cut-off −− Camless systems, electro-hydraulic, fully electro-magnetic −− Case study: continuously variable valve system design • VVA Case Studies and Impact on Gasoline Engine Performance −− Continuously variable valve system on gasoline engine −− Atkinson cycle with a hybrid plugin powertrain −− Miller Cycle DAY TWO • VVA Case Studies and Impact on Diesel Engine Performance −− Loss motion system to enable LTC on a MD Diesel engine −− Electro-hydraulic system on HD Diesel engine • Engine Brake Systems −− System description and competitive advantages

FUELS AND ENERGY SOURCES
Fuel Cells for Transportation 3 Days | Classroom Seminar I.D.# C1868
is a three-day course which provides a comprehensive and up to date introduction to fuel cells for use in automotive engineering applications. It is intended for engineers and particularly engineering managers who want to jump start their understanding of this emerging technology and to enable them to engage in its development. Following a brief description of fuel cells and how they work, how they integrate and add value, and how hydrogen is produced, stored and distributed, the course will provide the status of the technology from fundamentals through to practical implementation. Day 1 will have a brief introduction to fuel cells and then go through fundamentals of fuel cells: the thermodynamic principles involving the electrochemical potential, the kinetics of electrode reactions, principles of electrocatalysis, and electrochemical methods of characterization. Included will be the set of governing equations that define the physical processes involved in single cells. Day 2 will focus on fuel cells stacks incorporating polymer electrolyte membranes (PEMFCs). It discusses the functional
