Summary
The internal combustion engine is still the most common source of power for the ground vehicle. Nowadays occurs due to the implementation of rules for emission standards to reduce displacement volume of engine while keeping the operational parameters. This process is called downsizing. In course will be illustrated terminology and functional principle of different types of internal combustion engines. Students in the course internal combustion engines of vehicles acquainted with modern structural design of internal combustion engines and accessories. They will learn about methods of formation of flammable mixtures and charge exchange process. Student will learn about the parts of the crank mechanism and valve timing devices.
