Spring 2025 Laboratory Lecture Laboratory Preparation Upper Division
Internal combustion engines (ICE), hybrid engines (HE), fuel-cell engines (FCE), and alternative/renewable fuels. ICEs topics- engines with advanced combustion systems such as clean diesels, direct-injection spark-ignition engines (DISI), and low-temperature combustion (LTC) compression-ignition. HE topics- different components of hybrid engines and the powertrain design. FCE topics- fundamentals of fuel cells and automotive applications. Clean fuel topics- biofuels, hydrogen, and natural gas, as well as, other cleaner fossil fuels for automotive applications. Well-to-wheel energy and cost analysis of prime mover designs/fuels.
Learning Outcomes1Relate processes in automotive prime movers to engineering fundamentals.
2Study low-carbon emitting, and LEV, ULEV, SULEV, PZEV, and ZEV prime mover designs.
3Study prime mover designs that are alternative to conventional combustion engines.
4Study cleaner alternatives to conventional fossil fuels.
5Carry out analysis of prime mover designs and fuel alternatives to identify cost and energy tradeoffs.
